It was warm this morning (50) but windy and raining.  It started raining on me at around 5 miles and rained pretty good at times but thankfully wasn't steady.  I wanted to do some faster running today.  I had thought I would do a longer run at MP but I didn't want to stay out in the rain so I ended up going a little shorter but faster.  Most of my miles were faster than MP but slower than tempo.  Not sure what this does for me but seemed like a good workout.  My legs were sluggish the whole way so I didn't feel the best and that kept me from turning it into a harder tempo effort.  Overall I am just glad to get some faster running in.  I need to continue to get some speed in because I only have 3 more weeks and then I will move into the taper.

Whoa...3 weeks to taper! That took a second to sink in. Nice effort considering the circumstances.

Thanks Jeff!

Dave, it really is coming up fast. As it gets closer we will have to talk to see if we can get together there.
