Another great spring day.  It was warm around 55 with some wind.  I felt pretty good today and it was just great being outside on such a nice day.  Spring sure puts some energy in my running and want to use this to really get going.

Philadelphia, PA: Traveled up here yesterday early and had a busy day of meetings so didn't get to run.  Today I just ran in the hotel TM since there was not really a good place to run by the hotel.  Either the TM was off or I was really struggling because the pace felt a lot harder than it should have.  It was also very warm in the fitness center so that didn't help.

Awesome day today with temps around 75 and some wind.  This is definitely not normal for this time of the year.  Felt ok today but was still dragging a little.  I just took it easy and tried not to fight the wind too much.  Hoping the weather stays like this for awhile.  Great day.

Another awesome day with temp around 75 but still very windy.  I was dragging a little today.  I jut felt kind of tired.  It was a little bit of a struggle against the wind but was glad to get the miles in.

I wasn't feeling good today and was very busy so just squeezed in a few miles to say I ran.  Not much of a run but glad I got out.
