After not feeling good for several days in a row, which combined with cold, rainy weather caused me to skip Thursday's run, the weather went fantastic. Saturday started out nicely chilly and I went out for 18 miles and stopped at 7.4. I just wasn't feeling good from my recent bout with sickness, which I refused to give in to. But I suppose I did with my run, and decided that it was better to stop than to run myself the rest of the way to sickness.
Normally today would have been a day off, but the weather was way too nice to resist. I ran 8 miles in the sun in about 60-degree temperatures. And I felt so much better than yesterday, too. I tried to run at a pace that felt good and found I was running too fast. Or at least that's what my Garmin said. The last mile I finally throttled it down to closer to 10-minute miles as opposed to the 9-minute or better pace I'd been running. I found out later that this was the first day an American has won the NYC Marathon since 1982, and that means it was a really good day for runners all over the country.
