Great run this morning on the usual Highland Glen loop. Started out kind of slow, but felt great after a half mile or so. Beautiful, clear, cool morning. It was light enough to run without a headlamp the last mile or so. It just seemed like early spring today. Averaged an 8:40 pace.

Gorgeous, cold, clear morning. Temperature in the upper 20's. Low full moon in the West. A little soreness in my upper thigh that lasted throughout the run, but didn't get worse. Left around 5:35 am. It was fairly light by 6:00 am or so. Next week we'll be back in the dark at that hour. Saw one runner and one walker and heard some others.

Lunchtime run with Laureen and Amelia. Temple route. Amelia and I added an extra loop south of the temple and then tried to catch up with Laureen on 40th west. She had enough of a head start that we didn't catch her until Cedar Hills Drive. It was sunny with temperatures were near 60, so I was able to run in shorts and a long sleeve shirt. There was a slight breeze coming from the south that felt pretty good as we were running towards the temple. When we headed north (up the hill) with the breeze at our backs, it felt hot enough that I was regretting the long sleeves. A good workout over all. Should more or less be ready for the Spectrum 10K near weekend.
