8.62 miles @ lunch
It hit the 30 degree mark today at noon. I was able to wear shorts, but still needed a hat, spring gloves and sufficient layers up top. The day off yesterday brought some life back to my legs along with a right hamstring rub from my wife. I gave her a back rub in return...... our relationship is not a one way street.
Anyways, on to the run. I really felt good but decided that I would take it nice & easy due to the little niggles here and there. I wore the K-Mart special watch and thus didn't have the beep every mile to remind me of my pace. I figured with the effort level and ease of the run, I was probably running a 7:45 pace or so. I was pleasantly surprised after mapping out the route and calculating the pace that I was actually moving at a 7:19 avg. Rest days and shorts must be the reason. Some runs turn out good and some not so good. Wisdom....
