Ah, what a great day! This morning I managed to get up early, managed a 7:45 or so pace for 4 miles, and of course, saw my hottie...then, after a busy day at work, I left the office to find it 49 degrees outside!! Yes...OK, granted tomorrow it's only going to be 40 or so, but I got home and it was 50!! You know what 5o means?? I was able, to run, outside, with SHORTS on!!! Yes...today was my first run in shorts and I so loved it. I had a short sleeved shirt, light weight jacket and shorts...no gloves, a baseball cap and my music going lightly in the background. I got back and had muddy water splashed up my legs and that was an awesome thing. I even held a pretty decent pace. Plan had been 6 miles with 4 at tempo, I had semi wanted to do a sub 8, but didn't think it quite feasible since I had run the faster one this morning, but first mile was 8:38 (fast warm up) then I had a 7:59, 8:04, 7:55 and 7:40 (that was mostly down hill) and an 8:30 final for a 48:50 6 miler...guess my recent estimate on a 46 minute 10K wasn't that off. Anyway, I am so desperate for spring, but today, the nice 50 minutes in the sun was a help. OK...focus...need to work on those essays....

Can not wait to run outside!
I just can't wait to run again let alone run outside. I tried to run a little last night, but I could feel the jarring in my cracked rib. So I think I'll wait another couple of days. But walking's still good when it's nice out.
With shorts?!?! Wahoo!
Running in shorts? AWESOME! Glad to hear things have warmed up a bit down there.
Woo hoo! Shorts!
