Notes
Solid relaxed but hilly long run. Great morning for a run. Felt a bit more like winter than spring today. Yet, in some ways the weather was even more pleasant because there was hardly any wind. There were only like 5 cars in the whole place when I got to the Arboretum right as it opened. Nice to feel like I had the place to myself. As cheesy at this may sound, I have to say that this run was genuinely relaxing and just what I needed right now. This semester has been much more intense than in the fall. Winter running, in general, is not as therapeutic as other times of the year. You constantly have to put up with weather, bad footing, traffic, etc. None of that was the case today. Just another reason to make the 15min drive to the Arboretum for runs more often.
Also, I am really glad I backed off yesterday instead of forcing my 90min run in then. Legs felt waaay better.
Marking this as 13.75 but it may have been more like 14. It's hard to measure accurately the arboretum routes.
