It was 46 degrees and a bit windy this morning.  But with the sunshine it was a fabulous run.  I ran 12.51 miles with a few pick-ups thrown in.  I love running on holiday mornings....hardly any traffic.

It was 50 degrees and cloudy when I left.  Before I had even finished 1 mile it started to rain.  It was a fairly steady drizzle so it wasn't too bad until miles 9-12 when I was battling a headwind on the South Bannock Highway.  

When I made the turn at the 12 mile mark it got considerably better.  It was still raining, but now the wind was at my back.  Miles 13-16 I had a very strong pace as it was nice to not have the rain pelting my face and a tailwind.

It actually stopped raining for a while and did not start up until I had 1.5 miles to go.  I ran 23.14 wet miles.  The backs of my legs are a muddy mess.

It was 55 degrees with some raindrops this morning, but nothing serious.  Today was the 2nd race of the Summer Fun run series.  The course is very hilly and has a 1.5 mile uphill finish....

I ran some warm-up miles at home before I drove over.  I did not have the time to run home after the race so I needed to drive.

I felt pretty good through the first 4 miles and I tested the groin pretty good, but struggled a little the last 2 miles with the uphill and did not want to push it too hard with Utah Valley next Saturday.

Overall, I had some good miles and hopefully I will be OK for Provo in 7 days.
