It rained extremely hard today in St. George.  I was planning on the club run this evening but the rain was as bad as I have seen it down here.  I contemplated going out in it but I would have looked like a wet dog within 10 seconds of running in it.  I grudgingly hopped on the treadmill at the high school to get the run in.  I haven't run on the treadmill since I moved down here so it has been a while.  I only had my long sleeve tech shirt because I was going to brave the weather so I ended up sweating all over the place.  Not fun but oh well!  I did the first 3 miles at 7:03/mile, the next 3 at 6:39/mile, the next 2 at 6:18/mile, and then did the last 2 miles at 6:00/mile.  I didn't want to speed up but the run was dragging on.  I survived, sweat and all, and then hurried home.

Hopefully it stops raining soon!

You mean you didn't want a repeat of TCM? Didn't you enjoy that run? Sounds like you made the right choice.
