Easy Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 36:45
Pace: 9:10 min/mi

Comments: Actually didn't intend to get a run in today. With the forecast calling for rain all day I figured I'd get a day off and then focus on Sunday as my next opportunity. But by mid morning the rains had not really materialized and the temperatures were pretty close to ideal. So I got my errands done and put on the running shoes.

Of course I was stiff to start due to my first run in weeks yesterday. And while I intended to do the first lap slow, I did it a bit too fast. I slowed down considerably each lap after that but my focus was just on getting the four miles. Which I did.

Comments: After another pause in the running regimen I was back out on the pavement. When temperatures dip into the 20's I have to really consider how much I need that morning run. But today things are balmy as a front is about to arrive. Since the rain held off I really couldn't ask for better conditions.

This run went well except for the fact getting out this early means contending with the neighbors' enthusiastic sprinkler policies. I deliberately started slow but then slowed even more (although I personally felt I was going a decent clip by the end). The legs held up well. I'm calling it a win.
