Ahhhhhhh. Finally a run outside. I checked my garmin. It has been a full month since I last used it.

My entire run felt pretty good. It was a little icy in spots, but not enough to slow me down. Pace was under 8:30 average (last mile 7:45) and all felt easy. Why doesn't that pace feel easy on the treadmill?

Then I got ready for a shower. Sometimes to save time I get Charlotte in the shower with me, and while I was getting ready to get in the shower, she pooped in the shower. Awesome.

Yep. I laughed about this one. And not about the icy run.

I wonder why it seems so much easier running outside, too. Maybe we should always run inside until race day.

Anyways.... Nice run and way to get outside again!!!

Ha! That's a great idea. It honestly seems like 9 minute pace is a chore on the treadmill and 8 minute pace is unpleasant, but 8 minute pace feels great outside. Maybe if I drop my pace to 8 minute pace on the treadmill all the time, 7 minute pace will feel fantastic.
