It was a nice morning upper 30's and very light wind.  I wanted to lengthen my long run today so added a couple of extra miles to get up to 17.  I started off feeling kind of sluggish and never did feel real good the whole way but I did feel better as I went along and picked up the pace over the last 5 or 6 miles.  Overall a pretty good run.  I would like to get back up to 20 next weekend.  It is certainly nice to be able to take advantage of this weather.  Not too many days that you get to run in shorts in IN in Jan.

Nice pace for such a long run, especially when you're not feeling 100%. Those long runs are tough for me on a good day.

Great job on the long run, nice pace. Looks like a great racing year ahead for you.
