Had a good early morning run, another progressive run and it felt good. It was in the 40's and just right for shorts and a long sleeve shirt. After work, I changed (glad I remembered my shoes today since I didn't have a ride home!) and ran home. It was humid and cloudy. I was afraid I might get caught in the rain, but after a couple miles, the sun came out and it got warm. First mile was a lot faster than my usual mile 1, and I was able to keep the pace for mile two, but the hill climb just before I hit mile 3 slowed me down and made me wonder if I'd run out of steam. After I hit mile 3 (30 seconds slower than miles 1 & 2), I stopped and ate a few chewy energy sharks. Those sharks and the end of all the hills put me back on my pace, and I was able to make miles 4 and 5 faster than miles 1 and 2. No running tomorrow- maybe a bike ride?
