Overcast this morning and slightly warmer (43 degrees). I woke up a little earlier and just got dressed and headed out (with one less layer).  My hands were a little chilly for a few minutes, but I didn't notice them much after that. Ran the full Highland Glen loop which gave me a little more mileage for the day. I'm hoping that I can get back to doing at least five a day and build up from there. My legs are getting their spring back and I don't have any aches or pains to speak of. Average pace this morning: 9:10.

With the spring weather I'm hoping that I can get the whole family out for some bike rides in the evenings. It won't be this week though as my youngest daughter is in the school play and they have performances every night. They've been rehearsing up to four hours a week for about the last six weeks, so it's going to be a relief for all of us to get back to a more normal schedule.

It sounds like maybe I was right about Spectrum being the launch point for your running recovery. I'm sure the coming of spring and spring-like weather is also a contributing factor. I'm confident things will continue to improve for you.

Thanks, Paul! I was going to mention that I did sign up for the 5K on April 12. Hopefully, we can get a few more people signed up.
