Ran a few up-tempo miles including 2 with Kim. Felt pretty good other than my legs telling me my pace should be faster than what the garmin is telling me.

Had a delightful 7 mile hill workout today. Did 6 .35 mile hill repeats and was lucky to get not only a stiff headwind but pelting rain in the face as well during the uphills! By the end of the run I was entirely soaked to the gills. Awesome!

Quite a windy blustery morning but at least it didn't rain on us.  This was a hard 13 miles even though the pace wasn't all that speedy. Between the wind and my left calve cramping up on me I was having a rough time. Thinking I'll take a rest week next week and hope the legs are ready for 18 next Saturday.
