I ran a modified Eagles View with Will at noon today. Instead of going up the steep hill we continued north for a while before turning back. I didn't have my Garmin, but Will's showed a distance of around 5.75 miles and an average pace of 8:06. This included two long waits at traffic lights. Subtracting that time the pace was around 7:52. The temperature was finally above 40. I wore shorts and no ear covering and it felt great. There were still a few icy spots in the shadows on the overpasses, but overall the roads were mostly dry. If we can string a number of these above freezing days together running conditions should improve considerably.
