Todays run will be a tempo style workout.....50 minute tempo at 5K speed then some light jogging  to round out the 10 miles. Again I do hope to find some dry time to get my workout completed.

I can't believe I made the entire run without gettin' rained on! It was great.

Now it's time to get rested up for tomorrows fun...

Good luck on the run Slick- that is a hard one. I hope you rock it.

From MrsFIT on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 10:13:38 from 205.127.241.18

I'm afraid we're both going to need a rain jacket on your runs this afternoon :(

From Smooth on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 10:15:28 from 174.23.172.155

No worries, runners are waterproof! I bet you'll rock your tempo run!

From Kathie on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 11:41:03 from 63.248.105.188

I hope you find some dry time, that rain is COLD today!!!!!

From RAD on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 16:11:10 from 67.172.229.125

50 minutes at 5K speed?? wow...thinking about doing that made me breathe hard!

From MarcE on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 18:31:45 from 204.16.82.120

Just catching up on blogs..life and work getting in the way. Way to go with your training and weight loss. You're gonna smoke UVM!

From Rhett on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 18:55:03 from 74.32.222.202

I hope the rains stopped for you.

From DonGardinero on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 20:19:56 from 152.216.7.5

Good job gettin' it done. What's the plan for tomorrow?

From Smooth on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 21:36:24 from 174.23.172.155

Yay! The running gods were with you! How'd you feel running the 5k pace for 50 min.?

From Tom Slick on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 21:36:42 from 172.190.15.103

Tomorrow is a 15 miler at a talking comfortable pace

Smooth: I felt trashed.And I'm a whimp-I don't like to be cold or wet.

Rhett: I was lucky with no rain again, at least during the run.

Marc: I think I'll smoke a cigar after UVM.

Hey RAD: speaking of breathing hard, how many days till you finish the single handed re-population of the world?

Mrs. Fit: Ha Ha, made it with out a slicker.

From Kathie on Wed, May 12, 2010 at 00:54:35 from 63.248.105.188

I am glad you missed the rain (or it missed you). Good luck on your 15 miler tomorrow.

From Tom Slick on Wed, May 12, 2010 at 09:24:43 from 168.179.157.104

Kathie - I'm thinking that Wednesdays run might be a bit soggy. I don't think theres a chance I can dodge this rainy weather all week, but time will tell.

From Huans32 on Wed, May 12, 2010 at 09:27:53 from 138.64.8.52

Great job on the training Slick. Looks like UVM is going to be a fast race for you. Your awesome.
