Easy spring run

Finally. The sun was out this afternoon and temperatures rose above 60F today. That made it a perfect afternoon for a run, and what better way to celebrate than to run my very favorite easy day run - the 3.6 mile Davis run. As I was running today, it was hard to imagine that just 3 days ago it was snowing like mad and freezing cold. But my legs sure noticed. I couldn't believe when I clicked my watch at the end of the run and noticed that I had run 4 minutes faster than Monday. I guess I really was slipping and sliding on the snow.

It really felt good to be running back at a faster pace (7:10/mile). I hope the forecast is correct and it stays warm through the weekend.

Spring in February

The warm weather of the last few days has made it very pleasant to run. Today I decided to take an easy day and only run 2 miles after three straight days of 5+ mile runs. It was a nice break, but I'm looking forward to getting back out while it is warm.
