Pretty nice day out.  Temp around 30 but light wind.  Felt pretty good today and just ran easy.  Had some medical tests done on Thur and Fri then was at girls choir competition all day Sat so been awhile since I have ran.  It was nice getting back out.

Was leaving to head out of town so didn't have much time today so only got in 4 miles.  It was nice around 33 with some wind.  Since I was only able to go a few miles I decided to do some MP miles to get in a little better workout.  Ran 2.5 at around 7:00 pace.  Felt good to pick it up some.

Huntsville, AL:  Didn't pack the right running clothes for the colder weather here so stayed inside on the TM.  Pretty good run just took it easy and glad to get in some miles. Hoping it warms up some tomorrow to get outside.

Huntsville, AL:  Ran on the TM at the hotel.  Felt pretty good.  Started off easy and picked it up as I went along.  Ran the last 1.5 miles between 7:20 and 7:00.  Felt good to finish strong.

It was cool (32) but sunny with only a light wind.  Just did an easy few miles this morning before heading to the girls show choir competition.  Been busy the last few weekends with their choir but enjoy see them perform.

Raining outside today so just stayed in and ran on the TM.  Felt really good today and the running seemed easy.  Just need to keep getting in consistent runs and maybe I will actually get back in shape.  It is coming along slowly but surely.

It was cool (38) and very windy today.  Didn't have a lot of time to get my run in so was glad to at least get in 5 miles.  Felt pretty good and the pace seemed easy.  Looking forward to some warm weather.

Nice day today with temp around 44 and light wind.  Felt good today and the running seemed easy.  Just ran by how I felt and ended up with a good pace for an easy run.  Glad to get in some extra miles.

Nice morning today  with temp in low 40's only light wind.  Felt a little sluggish this morning but just ran easy.  Enjoyed watching a beautiful sunrise.  Now off to my daughters' state show choir competition for the day.

Washington, DC: Not a good place to run in this area so ran on the TM.  Just an easy run nothing special just getting in some miles.

It was really cold (22) and windy. Can't believe it is spring.  Looking forward to some warmer weather.  Felt good today and running seemed easy.  Not a bad day after I got warmed up.

Indian Shores, FL: Traveled down here Friday so didn't get any running in.  Today is was warm (70) but very windy.  I just took it easy and enjoyed running in the warm weather.  It was nice seeing the sights around the area and running in a new place.

Indian Shores, FL:  It was cool this morning (48) especially for this area.  Felt good today.  I started off easy and picked it up as I went along.  Ended up running the last couple of miles at MP.
