61F, heavy rain.  7:26 AP.  Not so bad once I got used to the shirt-glued-to-your-torso feeling.  I wanted to spend a few minutes at 5k pace on the way home today, but after my second 1-minute repeat I was in severe, severe distress.  Severe.  So I slowed to butt-clenching speed for the last couple miles.  Butt-clenching pace is down to 7:45 or so; it used to be 8:00.  Obviously, I'm really starting to see the results of all my hard work.

Sounds like you were in SEVERE distress. Good to see the .30 fast miles though! Have a great weekend!

I wonder if you could sell that shirt glue...

It's tough to clench anything in the 7's. Nice work :)

Yet another running metric. HR zones are so last week.

IJR - severe.

Dan - I could make a killing if I could invent a shirt that doesn't stick to you when it rains.

RT - I owe it all to butt-clenching repeats

Flat - seriously, where have you been? It's all in the new book, Born with the Runs.
