Cool

This was the best day for a run in weeks, but according to my schedule, I could only do 3 miles. I got up early and was out by 5:45. It was still mostly dark, and it was partly cloudy and 70..
It's always amazing what a little cool weather can do for a run. This was supposed to be an easy 3, but after walking a third of a mile, I started out a little faster than usual and loosened up quicker than usual. The first mile was 9:43, and that was followed by 8:53 and 8:34. The last partial mile was done at an 8:29 pace. The overall pace ended up at 8:59 (3.41 miles).
Because of the favorable weather I kind of wished I'd had a longer run on the schedule, but there's a reason this was supposed to be a short run. I'll stick with the plan.
Coming up: 5k on Sunday. Angela and Justin will run their first 5k with me. Kay, Dawn and Jaden plan to walk the distance. Watch for pictures.
