It was beautiful sunny day and nice to be able to run in shorts again. The temperature was in the 40s with a strong south wind, but it felt balmy after the subzero temperatures of last week. I ran my Walgreens-Wabash loop. It was a bit slushy with all of the melting snow.

Temperatures have been in the 50s the past couple of days, so most of the snow was gone. It was a great day for 5 miles on my Walgreens-Wabash loop. I did an extra 0.5 to make it an even 5 miles.

I did my housing school loop plus and then added a little extra to get to 5 miles. It was cloudy, but the temperature was in the mid-40s. I felt good, but my neck and back have been tight recently. Not sure why.
