MI ???

I am beginning to think that I am training in MI. The last three runs I have done I have gotten rained on. Not a big deal as it was just a light mist and felt great as the humidity was high. Kind of felt like training for soccer season minus the cold!
With that said, this has actually been a hard week so far. You would think that with the cooler temps it would be great. Unfortunately this week we are trying to increase our speed a little over some longer distance. It is a struggle as my body likes the comfortable pace of 9:30. We are trying for 9M/M and they have been a stretch-at least for me. Thankfully Ron ran with me tonight, along with some friends who kept me going. It is always hard to complain when Ron is running right along side me pushing all three kids. So we gave up the track tonight and ran a straight 7miles trying for 9m/m. I ended up taking a little bit longer and more frequent water breaks but did finish-a little under the goal, but the way things were going I was glad to be done.
The kids did great even if they did get a little wet-we had the rain shield but I think it would have been a sauna with it on!
