A glorious outside run.  It was in the mid-30s, with a 6 mph wind that I could only feel when I was going south, and it wasn't bad even then.  After school I picked up a reflective vest and a blinking LED light and I felt a little safer, but I still didn't let my guard down when I was running in the street.

Snow is melting and most sidewalks were clear, but the unshoveled ones were slushy.  Not bad mostly, but on 45 just south of St. Mal, the slush was pretty deep because that was a sheet of ice before the thaw.

I ran a minute and 1/2 before I realized that my watch hadn't picked up a satellite, so I stopped until it connected.  I figured the distance on the way home (it was .17).  So my real splits (not including that 1 1/2 minute .17) were 8:52, 9:04, 8:55, 8:37, 9:04, 8:37, 8:30, 8:07 and then 7:05 for the last .22.  The pace felt comfortable, not hard, but not easy.  I was working, and only slightly bogged down in some of the slushy areas.
