Early morning run, usual Highland Glen loop. Temperature in the low 40's. Nearly full moon in the west.  

I wasn't feeling very good last night and didn't even lay out my clothes for this morning, but I woke up at the usual time and decided that I'd feel worse not going than going. I'm glad I did. For the most part it was a seemingly effortless run with no significant aches or pains. After the first mile, I started to pick up the pace (which nearly caused me to fall on my face when I hit a rough section of pavement). I felt really good by the end and noticed how light it's starting to get the last quarter mile or so.

Sounds like a great run Kerry. I've noticed you can never tell for sure how the run will go based on the night before or the first mile or 2 of the run. I love it when I can get into that "effortless" mode!

I haven't check in on you for too long. It's good to see you've been running fairly consistently so far this year. You've run 227 miles compared to my 39. I think Tom's at about 669. I just want to get back running consistently without too much pain, and maybe do a few races.

I registered for this year's UVM last year. I won't be ready to race a marathon in June, but maybe I'll go for a long walk and see how far I get. I've done UVM every year since it started.

I'm also in the St. George lottery. This would be #10 if I get in. No other planned races yet. It will be a light schedule this year.
