Randy Ran Rapidly in Rain

It was very warm and very humid this afternoon, and throughout my run the sky kept spitting rain at me. When big fat rain drops fell about a minute into my run I thought I was in trouble, but the rain came and went. I'm a little sleep deprived due to kids' games this week, and with the 80 degree temperature and very high humidity today's outing really drained me. I was slated for 5x800 intervals, which I ended up doing over a 6-mile run. This was one of those times when I kept thinking about stopping after the third and fourth intervals, but the storms kept skirting to the north and south and I ran the faster segments with the wind. This time I had plenty of excuses to stop the run short, but I didn't take any of them for a change.
