Very enjoyable run today with the SF group on maybe the warmest morning of the year so far. The wind was pretty nasty at first but by the end the sun was out and we were in short sleeves. Sure felt good!

Had some excitement early on when it was still dark. Chad and Dan who had started earlier than everyone else decided to hide off the side of the road and give us a big spook. Kim let loose with the mother-of-all-screams and provided entertainment to everyone for the rest of the run.

Maybe the best I've felt all year finishing up this long run.  Not blazingly fast but just happy to be feeling good and not pooped at the end.

Fun run and great memories -- but you always seem to have fun.
