Notes

Temp 29 (WC 20) Wind 9 mph.

Normally a Tempo Run day, but with no race until end of March, felt better to trade some "sometimes hard" for some "mostly easy". Goals to focus on form and stride. Relax shoulders, chin up, short strides with consistent leg turnover up and down hills. Looking for efficiency by keeping Ave. HR low (140s). No set pace goal.

Nice course through park, around courthouse, picking up running trail by schools and in. Three good long hills to climb in miles 3, 4, and 5. Beautiful clear morining...saw my 1st meteor since November.

Ended with Ave. HR of 143 at 9:26 pace. Suprised at that pace for distance and HR...expected to be 15-20 seconds slower. Short struggle in mile 4. All-in-all, another fun run.

If weather channel is correct, this will be last sub-32 degree run of winter!
