Spring Must Be Here

As always, I like to think I get smarter the more I run. I can scroll through the entries on this log and find plenty of examples otherwise, but today I did feel a little smarter. I know that if I have a bad night of sleep then the run won't go very well. That was the case this time around, so rather than set lofty goals I decided this day was prime for an easy run. I stayed with my overall goal of completing my easy runs at a 9-minute/mile pace. Spring has rolled in, or should I say, blown in, with winds over 20 mph. Even with that and a temperature in the mid-70's, I managed to keep my pace just below the goal. The only time I felt like I was laboring was when going uphill against the wind. Imagine that.
