I finally got in a long run today. I was wondering how I would feel since it has been about 6 weeks since I ran over 10 miles (can't believe that). I ended up feeling good the whole way. I just settled into a nice easy pace and my legs felt good. I thought I might start to feel tired later in the run but it didn't happen. I am curious how I will feel tomorrow. Hopefully, no soreness. I am for a normal week this week so don't want any setbacks. It was another beautiful day (60, light wind). Oh how I love Spring!!

I traveled to DC today so had to fit a run into the schedule. I did an easy 6 miles and felt pretty good. My legs were a little tight/stiff from the long run yesterday but overall I felt better than I expected.  I have a busy week of meeting/dinners etc so we will see what happens on the schedule.

I have been crazy busy while in DC. I should be getting out early and run but have not been to exciting about running in DC in the dark and hotel doesn't have a treadmill. So ran 6 miles in between meeting. It was nice and easy felt pretty good.

Rainy cold and windy outside today so ran on the treadmill. It had the added benefit of being able to watch the Masters. Felt good and no problems.
