I got up and out the door for a 5 mile run, and it was lovely. It was cool, but not too cold. Although I do feel for the poor plants in the area. It’s been rather warm the past few weeks and apparently the plants think it is springtime. I saw cherry trees in bloom, and iris in bloom, and even some forsythia. They are all in for a whole of hurt in the next day or two when the temperature is supposed to drop.
The run was good, with me taking more walk breaks than usual. My legs needed it. They felt heavy and achy. I think I didn’t have enough water yesterday. I did have three beers last night, but I don’t think that would be enough to really screw my run. It could be that I was up until 1:00 in the morning. Who knows? I just know I needed to walk a bit more than usual, but my overall pace was still really good. Even with walk breaks, I was running 10 to 11 minute miles.
