I had a great run, especially because I wasn't sure I'd get any miles in :) It was pitch black when I ran at 7:30. So depressing...It was chilly enough to put on a long sleeved t-shirt. This is the first weekend I've had to do that. And oddly enough, I just checked and the weather channel said it's 70 right now. Weird. Maybe it felt colder because of the wind. Anyway, my first mile was about 8:45 and my second was 8:10. I wasn't feeling too winded, so I thought I would just go with it. The third mile felt easy--but when I looked at my watch it was 7:57. My last mile was 7:28. This is the first time in at least month that I have timed anything I've been running (except for a some speed work on the track, but I wasn't really paying attention to it). I wish I had a race lined up soon. I have Columbus Day free from meets. Maybe I'll look and see what I can find. Also, lifted again. My shoulder is starting to feel somewhat better, but now that it's getting better, I am going to start doing the exercises I was given.
