Happened to be in Seattle for some other stuff so I went over to the Dempsey Indoor to do my mile repeats workout. The target was 5:02. SHould have been pretty easy considering two weeks earlier I had done 3x2k repeats in 4:54s.

Well...not so easy. First one was in 5:00. Next one 5:02. Already having thoughts of quitting. I was really tired. Third one was in 5:05. The only reason I even did the fourth was to not be a quitter. Finished that on in 5:08.

Running is pretty hard right now. I'm going through a spell of boredom. Don't know if its the weather or the season or what. But I'm having trouble getting too excited about running. Even Boston isn't really sounding all that exciting right now. Oh well.

An absolute soaker of a run. Foruntately it wasn't too cold but with more rain predicted for the next several days, I'm getting pretty sick of it. Where's July when you need it.

21 absolutely drenching miles. Today was one of those I really, really didn't want to run. But with Boston looming...now is no time to take a break.
