Nice morning to run. A little cloud cover and temps in the high 40s, and I did a regular loop backwards to change the hills (shorter, steeper hills to start this way). I admire you guys for training through the snow and cold in Logan these days, I've lost that edge already. Good Monday run, felt strong after taking yesterday to rest. Threw in some striders, the first one was sluggish but then my legs loosened up. I'm getting comfortable at a 7 min. pace again.

The new Macy's recently opened, and they are giving away free eclairs and free sausage tomorrow as a coupon promotion. You left Logan four months too early...

Give my free sausage to Gil. It was bright and sunny and about 50 out for this morning's run, which takes the sting out of no free donut.

50 is like winter compared to the 85 we will be running in at the end of the month.

Glad to see you are getting comfortable in a good pace again. I am just starting to feel that way myself.
