When I got home today I put on a few layers, then realized that it was warmer out. So I took one layer off and ran in long pants and a long sleeved shirt. I am never good at gauging how I should dress when it is between 40 and 50, because it always depends on the wind. Today it wasn't too windy. I was a tad overdressed, but it wasn't too big of a deal. I did have a great run, though. My garmin didn't kick in right away, so I hit the lap button after I knew I had gone a 1/2 mile. So the first 1.5 miles were at about 8:50 pace. Then I slowly got faster. Next 4 mile splits were 8:31, 8:21, 7:50, 7:43. Then I started my cool down. Next mile was 8:49. Then I decided to hell with the cool down; I wasn't done running fast. Did 1/2 mile at 8:17 pace, and my last mile in 7:34. The run felt fabulous. I love this weather. Our snowstorm from Monday is almost melted. Crazy.
