Lunch: After getting a good amount of sleep last night I feel pretty good. Tired, but less so. 13 miles, averaged 6:57. 2 mile warmup during which it start to pour pretty nicely (70 degrees with 70 % humidity to start). Then 9-mile AT tempo in 59:56 (average 6:39.6)

Splits: 6:42, 6:38, 6:46, 6:42, 6:36, 6:32 (very downhill, last .25 or so), 6:44, 6:45, 6:32

Cooled down 2 miles.

It poured the first 3 miles or so, leaving giant puddles and me with heavy clothes, but I had fun.

Evening: 4 miles easy, averaged 8:11. 50s and cool. Bit windy. Quite a change from earlier.

Ah, you poor crater. I hope the rain didn't ruin your Wednesday hair:)

Good tempo on top of the weekend race.

Awesome run today! I love running in the rain. It can be tough but it's a nice change.

Nice tempo. 70 degrees is no picnic when you're used to running in freezing weather, but you still threw down some good paces.

Bam: My hair has a weird wave to it. I think the high mileage is messing with the chemicals in my body. Did it this fall too.

Matt: Exactly. I could have used less weight, but it was warm and fun splashing around (dangerous though when you can see what's at the bottom of a puddle).

Joe: Yep. The two days before this workout felt hot. And I wondered why I felt sluggish. I don't expect it to be 70 degrees and humid in northern Maine in May at 7:30 in the morning. I imagine I will get some more heat training in Indiana before then.
