Cooler Days and Running in the Rain!

Summer running has been great so far. For several mornings in June, I have enjoyed running in the rain! I always enjoy running in the rain because of its natural cooling properties. This June the weather has been cool to go along with the cooling rains.

I can only hope that this summer the mornings will always be cool. Of course, I know better and I realize that the warm weather will eventually cause me to slow down this summer as usual. I do, however, intend to take advantage of this presently pleasant weather.

I'm currently reaping the benefits of Speed Work! My training runs are naturally faster and my speed sessions are gradually improving. These cool mornings have been great! Yesterday's speed workout was right on target. I wonder if I'll be able to keep it up as the weather warms?
