AM:  49F.  12 @ 7:41 AP.  Plan for these next couple weeks is to do some higher mileage but no workouts as I adjust to it.  I want to really take advantage of the last of the runnable weather.  If we have some magical cold front before Hells Hills, I'll do a short taper and run it for the experience but otherwise just putting miles on legs.

PM:  57F.  4 @ 8:19 AP.  This run powered by 8 lbs of chicken fried rice.

AM:  47F.  6 @ 8:54 AP.

PM:  73F.  4 @ 8:21 AP.  Looks like the cool afternoons just got replaced by warm afternoons...for the next 7 months.  I almost went shirtless but there were lots of families out today in the park (Spring Break here) and I didn't want to scare the children.  You've gotta think of the children.  Best to wait until the dark cover of my early morning runs.
