General aerobic run.

5:19 am, 22°F, 79% humidity, winds calm, clear skies.

I got scared when I saw the 22° when I was getting dressed this morning and so I overdressed a little. At least I wasn't too cold on this run.

I ran the route that takes me past my office. This route is generally downhill for the first half and generally uphill for the second half. I just felt kind of sluggish for the whole run and never really felt like I got going well. However, my splits are better than I thought they would be (I didn't manage to keep track of them while I was running). I was only supposed to run 10 miles, but I did an extra loop in the middle of the run and it turned out to be longer than I thought. I ran until I got home instead of stopping at 10 and then walking.

I encouraged Thing 2 to skip seminary this morning because he was feeling sick last night. Also, that absolved me from feeling guilty about not driving him to seminary this cold cold morning.

AP: 9:16. Splits: 10:07, 9:27, 9:17, 9:14, 9:31, 9:23, 9:21, 9:09, 9:01, 8:37, 0.68 @ 8:39.

I hope your cold doesn't mean we're going to get some cold weather here in the next few days. It has been pretty nice here--yesterday it reached almost 70, but today we have thunderstorms (although it is still a pretty mild 50).

Nice run--I am continually impressed by your splits on the uphill section of this run. Your elevation changes make you such a strong runner!

Great run. It was a bit colder today. Another green square for you!

Thanks goodness for the calm winds because that could have been cold!! So, what is the forecast for next week? We are supposed to hit 60 on Wednesday----YEAH!!!!!!

March is crazy weather - 40 one day 20 the next. I guess it's better to be overdressed than underdressed. GREAT job on those splits, especially the last uphill ones. Sometimes sick kids can be a good thing :)

Brrrr. That temperature would scare me too! Its dropped to 40 here and I'm complaining.

Awesome mid-week run.
