Made sure I got outside for a run this morning, before winter reared its head again.  It was beautiful!  Got out about 7:45 to the rail trail with temps in the 40's (anything above freezing feels warm :).  Wasn't sure if I was going do a tempo run or speed work.  Decided to start running and see how I felt.  I ended up focusing on my form then adding bursts of speed during the chorus of the music I was listening to.  I was very pleased with my run.  9:43, 9:31, 8:54, 10:34 (incline), 9:44.  My AP was 9:31.  Faster than I've been in a while.  Must be the nice temps on my muscles :)

Ran 4 miles in my daughters neighborhood as soon as the sun came up.  She has lots of little hills in her neighborhood and lots of traffic too.   I couldn't cheat on the hills because there was always a bus or someone walking their dog.  Didn't want to look like I couldn't handle it :)

 AP 9:31

got a late start cause i wasnt feeling well.  Think I had too much frozen yogurt last night and woke up with a headache.  After coffee, breakfast, and headache pill, I decided I HAD to get out their today because more fowl weather is on its way.  Especially when I peaked out and saw the temp was 52 degrees :)

I headed out from my house with the intention of doing a 6 mile loop.  It was a beautiful run with the sun shining and cool breeze.  After I finished my loop, I decided to zigzag through my neighborhood to add the additional 2 miles to make it 8 for today (20 for the week).  AP 10:01

I think I'm gonna use my Visa Rewards for some new shoes today :)
