The Rain Song.  Temps in the mid-60s as a thunderstorm rolled into town.  Started with a brisk South wind flecked with intermittent rain.  Turned to the West two and a half miles from home and the sky opened up.  Torrential rain ensued for the next couple of miles.  Beautiful.  Waterlogged.  As I have said before, There is nothing like running in the rain.  Times were a bit off, but it was a solid effort.  5.13 miles in 49:24 for a 9:37 min/mile pace.  Feeling the plateau: a bump up to six miles per outing is imminent.
