50-63F.  7:42 AP.  Yeah, finished up this run at 2pm and I actually felt hot out there, wow.  I'll look back on this in July when it's 80 in the morning and laugh at myself.  Good run, still need to work on keeping the easy runs even easier so I can nail my workouts.

It's funny how that happens in the winter. The sun comes out and the temperature hits somewhere around 40F, and it feels like it's mid-summer and going shirtless might be a good option.

I hear ya on hitting the easy runs easier, that's super difficult for me also. Nice job on all of your consistent and focused work Joe.

Nice run today! Looks like some beautiful weather down south. Agreed on the LR pace. One thing I've gotta work on for 2013.

Wow...what a good training run! I need to nail one like that :-)

Nice work, Joe.

Let's not talk about summer until we have to. nice long run! My new approach is to, on a whole, train and race without a watch.
