This was not a normal February day. In fact, it was more like mid-April, with sun, wind, and a decent temperature. Only the few small piles of snow in the shadows, holding out against the warm sunshine, reminded me that it's still winter. I'm not naive enough to think winter is over, but I certainly appreciate days like this, especially in the middle of winter.
Today I ran 6 miles, with 5 Yasso 800's in the mix. It was good speedwork, although I still feel the effects of my short layoff. I don't feel like I'm completely back in shape yet, but the strength training has helped. If it wasn't for that I'd probably feel a lot worse. I ran in t-shirt and shorts, a rarity for mid-February. I saw a few other runners, but not nearly as many as I expected on such a nice day. I'm going to take any chance I get to run outside during the winter months, and this one was prime.
