Palm Sunday Run

I'd planned on running yesterday (Saturday), but it just ended up not working out. I slept in, which was much needed, and then took Daughter #2 to a friend's house. After lunch I ended up working on some trim here in the computer room, sanding and repainting it - and it looks nice! - and by the time I finished I'd been on my feet too much. It worked out better anyway since today I got to run the first 3 miles with The Wife and then final five by myself. I maintained my easy pace of 9-minute/miles once I was on my own and it went well. I had to slow down a few times to get back to that pace. We worked in the front yard today and even though I could have used that as an excuse to not run I knew I needed to get out and do it. I'm not planning on running Monday so today was necessary. Hooray for spring!
