Rainy out this morning so I went to the Y. Not sure if it's because I took yesterday off (other than riding the bike to work), but I was really sluggish and struggled to get going. I loosened up around 2 miles and felt more comfortable, but still stuck to an 8/min. pace just to take it easy. So, an easy day. 40:00.

Five quick miles at the Y during lunch. I like the mid-day run when I have a chance, and this was a day I needed the break. Doesn't happen often enough, and I've been a little lazy in the a.m. this week. 38:10

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.
