Slug run with Mike. We caught a bit of a break when it wasn't pouring or freezing early this morning. Actually a decent temp to start. We did a few real conservative miles with this guy Brian, 7:45s, then picked up the pace a bit. Got into a clip closer to 7:05-7:10, then the rain started at the 6-mile turnaround point. For whatever reason the wind changed directions when the downpour started, so even though we were soaked we still had the wind at our back. (And the wet snow didn't start until 8, by which time we were settled in with eggs and potatoes). The wind contributed to the 6:50 miles I think, but oh well. Conversation was good and we had a good clip going, maybe we just wanted to be done. Nothing hurt or felt like a strain, so the engine appears up for that type of pace. I'm signed up for Seattle Rock 'N Roll marathon now, so this is the 15-week out mark and it feels good to have some fitness. Time to pay attention to some speed training, I suppose. 1:27:15. supernova red -- 322
