When my alarm went off, I could hear the rain just pouring down (the windows were open) and I couldn't talk myself into a 9 mile run in the drenching rain.  So I slept in and when I got up again, the rain had pretty much stopped so I got in a few miles.

My avg pace was an 8:twenty-something (can't remember).  I think I'd call it a tempo run, but I don't know what kind of tempo it is...I just tried running faster.

The frogs were silent today when I ran by the pond.  It was still wet everywhere outside, but not raining.  I wonder if they only like to sing in the rain, or if they stop singing after 5 am?  Or maybe, like RAD said, they were just singing for my birthday yesterday, and they knew it wasn't my birthday today, so they weren't singing for me.

I wouldn't want to run 9 miles in drenching rain either. Tried it once. Didn't like it.

That's funny about the frogs.

I hope you had a good birthday yesterday.

I hope you had a good birthday! It was nice of the frogs to acknowledge your special day. Running 9 miles in the rain definitely does not sound like a fun thing to do. I am glad you got a little extra sleep after you early morning run yesterday.

you know I'm always right :)

Rain would make me go back to bed too. Especially if I knew I had 9 miles to do in it!! I'm glad it let up enough to let you get your 5 in, I probably would've bagged it all together and not woken up until I had just enough time to get out of the house. Nice work on the pace as well!

rain = 0 miles for the day for me.
