I am really dreading the temperature drop that I sense is coming.  It's been around 30 (except for the weird 60 degree day last week) and I can handle that.

Also, I have an itch INSIDE the bottom of my foot.   I have no idea what that's all about, but it is killing me cuz I can't scratch it.

Just 5 slow miles.  I need to sign up for a race or something, to get motivated to run faster.

5 easy miles. 

I don't like winter.  I've been dragging my feet when it's time to get outside...and the time-wasting just makes my life more difficult.

A nice 6 miles after a day of cleaning and organizing.  I love cleaning and organizing (well, the result of cleaning and organizing anyway).  I haven't run with my garmin in a while because I have just been following established route, but I wore it.  It confirmed my slowness.  

I am a little bugged by my slowness, which is a good sign for me.  If I'm bothered by it I'll work to change it.  I'm not sure if I am going to race the Illinois 1/2 marathon (in early May) because I am planning on running with a former student who just finished chemo last month.  I really have no idea what to expect from him, whether he'll be able to run or will have to walk some (or much).  So I'm thinking about finding another 1/2 to race around that time.  I was also encouraged because I was looking at some papers from last year, and I started training in earnest on March 1.  That gives me 6 ish weeks to get my mileage up and my pace down...
