good fitness test today. went out with a warmup mile, then dropped right into a pretty much full out mile to see where i was. 5:22.9 first mile, i was pretty happy to see that. ran a mile cooldown, then dropped into gear again for an 800, finished that in 2:34, jogged another half mile, then dropped into another 800, this one 2:35. cooled down for 1.2.

Overall, I still have some really solid foot speed and this was a good workout.

In the pouring rain: absolutely got soaked and ran through some big flash flooding. Also heard the tornado sirens go off, kind of unnerving when you are out running, got a pretty awesome rainbow show though, very vibrant colors. splits:

1- 6:51

2- 6:45

3- 6:49, i figured i'd be tired, but I must have been moving a little faster with the weather

4- 6:55

last 2-- 13:54

total--41:15, 6:52.5 avg pace

wanted to go 11, but really ran out of gas after 8 for some reason. 10 in 1:11:13, 7:07 avg pace.

1st half was 35:29, 7:06 pace, 2nd half was 35:43, i think the reason i ran out of gas was because i ran this too fast, need to slow down just a hair to around 7:10 pace on my next long run

severe stomach issues forced today's run well short of its intended target. Did get a 5:33 mile in though as it was supposed to be speed work today.
