It was rainy, cool (45) and very windy this morning.  It looked like that rain was going to stop so I started out and got about a 1/4 of a mile into the run and it started raining again.  I didn't want to be out in the cool, windy weather and get wet.  Always seems a lot colder when it is wet.  I went back in and decided to run on the TM.  I would have perferred to go outside.  Anyway, wanted to do a MP run today so started off with some easy miles to warmup then got into the MP miles.  I ran 10 MP miles between 7:10 and 6:53 with most closer to 7:00.  I didn't feel the best today.  My legs were just heavy and a couple of times in the run I thought about cutting it short but I hung in to get in the 10 MP miles I was hoping for.  Now we are packing up and heading to KY to see the family for Thanksgiving.  That will make it more difficult to stay on schedule so I was glad to get today's run in.
