Did I say it was 60° out yet? I got to run in shorts today - top and bottom! I have not had that pleasure since last fall! You know I should mention it was 60° out you know! Total today 14.39 miles in 60° weather!

ok, 2Kat... I used to like you. Fuggetaboutit... Hmph. My run tonight just couldn't find the warm stuff. Temp was 22F, cool but not too bad, but that damn wind wouldn't leave me alone! Felt it a little bit coming down the hill to the main road, and thought, ok at least it'll be a cross wind on the way up the big hill. No... it felt like a headwind (and strong) up that steep hill... so ok, maybe a respite when I top the hill and turn west... ha! there it was again! ok... two miles of rolling hills and the turn around. Ah, tail wind! love it... get a half mile up to the open field for the Dog Mushers' field and wham, there's that wind in my face... WTF? I've turned around heading back the way I came, and there it was again! I just can't get away from it. At least it wasn't as cold as usual, but I did have my headband on tonight to prevent earaches... Good run though. Rolling hills, a couple steep, a couple just damn long. 8:23 avg pace. This feels so easy, like I'm not pushing it at all. On the parts I push for some striders, the Garmin says 7:25 to 7:45... I never know how accurate it is, and tonight it seemed to start out with "long" miles but at the end was right on spot. I don't know what to think. Will be very interested to see how Boston goes... I'm the slowest one from my town going... There are two guys running corral 1... at least one in corral 2 and the others all close behind... then there I am in corral 19... I love this town. Small, rural, but full of talent. And then there's lil' ol' me.
