Thought that it would be a little on the colder side when I headed out, but about .5 into the run was shedding a layer. Love it when it's warmer than expected, that's always a pleasant surprise!! I never can tell so I always dress for the worst. By the end I could have peeled another layer off but was close to being done so just finished it off. Legs felt pretty good once they got going and would have liked to have added another mile but I got off later than I thought because of the moaning sick kid at home, and had to be home to pick up my other daughter from school. I don't know if the route that I took today was a little easier or if my attempt at some strides was succesfull, as I'm not sure of the correct way to do them, but my average pace was 9:33 and I have been averaging around 9:45ish so maybe it worked! Well off to get ready for work, I'll catch up on all the daily bloggie news in the peacefull quiet hours of the night at work! |
