Weather - 78 degrees, sunny.

Nice warm day, ran 4 easy miles in shoes through the park and Busey Woods, and 1 mile barefoot at the golf course.

Tomorrow will be another easy day, and if I feel good on Wednesday I will join 2nd Wind at the track for an interval workout.

I am thinking about running a 5k this weekend at Crystal Lake park. I did not schedule to run it, and I won't feel fresh, but I need to do some tempo/pacing type sessions, and a 5k race would meet that need. A race is more exciting than doing a tempo workout by myself, and I get a chance to see if I can hold a stiff pace without tapering. If the weather sucks I will skip the 5k, because I need a break from racing in cold/rain/wind.

We all are hoping for the end of the crappy weather, I hear you! Good luck at the race if you run it.
