Trying to work a few shorter runs into the schedule when the weather, mood, and time presents an opportunity. The cold still lingers but I seem to be improving. Instead of a constant draining I now go through periods where I have focus and then wane into feeling like crap once again.

The wind was gusting a bit and it was overcast, almost ready to spit rain throughout the run. Nice temperatures though so I am not going to complain one bit.
