Up and at it early today, ran 5 with Kim then some more solo as Kim went to meet up with the Kardiodashians.  Nice to not have any wind for a change. Feeling pretty good today, wasn't sure how much more I'd go solo but just went with the flow and ended up with 10.

Six miles in the morning with Kim. Hopefully we get some warmer more spring-like weather soon.

Had plans to go to the gym later for some XT and core but got too busy at work and it didn't happen.

Worked at home today so did the run later in the morning. Kim was doing a 6 x 800 workout (400 rests) so I joined in for the fun.  Temps were pretty nice (40's) but the dang wind made the 800's feel harder than normal. Plan was to shoot for 3:30-3:45 for each interval.

Kim stayed pretty consistent thoughout except for the last one when Coach Tom decided to mess with her a little and pick up the pace to see if she would notice. She figured it out by about 1/2 way through and I don't know that she appreciated it but did a good job staying close and finished it in 3:20something.

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.
