Cold, clear and beautiful morning. Temperature in the upper 30's, nearly full moon. It was light enough to see the street clearly at 5:30. I've really suffered from allergies this year for some reason. Tears were streaming down my face starting out and then my lungs started to hurt and then I started wheezing about a mile and a half in. Fortunately all that went away at about the two mile mark and I started feeling pretty good (hard not to, on such a beautiful morning). With about a mile to go, I cranked it up to threshold pace and held that to the end. |
