Rain, rain, go away

Talk about a wet weekend. My last four runs have been in the rain. I had a great long run on Saturday. Usually that run is one of my hardest, but I got in 22 miles in about 2:51 (7:47/mile). I tried to keep my pace slow and under control the first half of the run. Then just ran relaxed the rest of the way. I sped up a little bit. Here's the splits:

1-7.44 2-7.53 3-7.52 4-7.59 5-7.56 6-7.57 7-7.57 8-7.29 9-7.42 10-7.59 11-7.57 12-8.04 13-7.44 14-7.49 15-7.52 16-7.38 17-7.41 18-7.37 19-7.30 20-7.27 21-7.43 22-7.41

Overall it was a good week of training. 91 miles at a 7:52/mile pace.

S - 4/6 easy
M - 4/6 easy
Tu - 12 with 6x.75 miles at 5k
W - 15 med (7:44/mile)
Tr - 4/8(strides) easy
F - 6/4 easy
S - 22 miles (7:47)

Hopefully I'm ready for Fargo. Now it's time to taper. I'm not a big fan of the whole tapering.
