Run: 5.7 miles in :49:55 min. @ 12:20 p.m.

Weather: Cloudy, 34°F, Wind: From W @ 13 mph, gusting to 26 mph; feels like 25°F.
Pace: 8:45 min/mile
Course: Another 5-Plus-er created using USATF Map It!


I took an extra days rest (bs detector: was completely unmotivated until this afternoon) and paid for it with an achy, slow, uninspired slog through he noontime traffic and slush. I (and my knees) felt as though my body weighed three hundred pounds and there was very little "bounce" in my step.

The fact that I failed to prepare by stretching the past two days in the interim has taught me a lesson about comrehensive preparation--unfortunately, in the past, I have been a slo-o-o-w learner. Not this time.

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
