Sugarcreek Trails in a heavy rain. Made it muddy and the hills tough, but I was able to hit some paces I did not think I could on these types of trails. Good run.

73º windy and warm. Ran from the underpass, to Kyle Park to Troy. 12 Miles, 2 WU and then E.O. MP+ 7:24, 7:21, 7:15, 7:15, 7:07 Considering the last ones were with a semi-strong headwind, I will take it. The front changed part way into the run as we were under a tornado watch.

It's certainly springtime in Ohio. Yes every state has the joke about if you don't like the weather wait 15 minutes it'll change. However, running in 73º to running in 39º with a cold wind in just 2 days just seems.... off....

My legs were tired and not ready for any real speed work so I went with what the would give me. 3 Mile WU and then 6 miles between HMP & MP. After that some slow miles and then finished with and HMP mile. Got in, had some pork and washed it down with a banana/date/berry/chia smoothie. Off to church for a mortgage burning celebration. Games tonight!
