A rare treat! Two days I a row outside. My brother in law graciously picked up my kids without me knowing it and then called to let me know I should get in a run and he'd watch the kids. So that was nice. Gotta love him!

My run today was almost split for split the same as yesterday. AP was slightly over 8:30 pace instead of slightly under. I love that this pace feels easy. I just don't know what that means. I need a 5K to gauge my fitness, but central Illinois doesn't do races right now.

Update. Well, I guess there is a 5k this weekend in Urbana. I doubt that I will run it, but I checked the race calendar, and there are a few I can do coming up.

No better way to see where you're at than by hitting up a random 5k! We're kind of in the same boat with the lack of races this time of year.

That's great that 8:30 pace feels easy. These "easy" runs are important. At least that's what everyone faster than me keeps telling me. :) Nice running outside!
