Yeah it was cold, not like in the Dakotas cold, but still cold. I've felt really sluggish lately, it was nice to get a couple of these miles under 7 minutes today. 7:14 avg.

Quads were really sore today. I didn't wear the Garmin and just went by feel with my K-Mart special watch. I had to walk through some snow at one point and it took me a while to get the legs moving again. I was surprised by the end result. 7:14 avg.

I had a great day today. My wife woke me up when I heard her yelling, "There are two coyotes in the back woods!" Sure enough, I jumped out of bed and looked out the kitchen window and there were two very healthy coyotes walking through the woods. I love that stuff.
After my wife went for her walk, we ended up visiting my mother-in-law in West Townsend MA which is a stones throw from the NH border. I looked at google maps and figured out a good 20 mile route with some nice climbs and descents. This route didn't disappoint..... my quads are absolutely trashed from the downs :) 7:49 avg.

Legs are still a bit sore, but I’ll take sore legs and 50 degree temps all day long. After the winter we’ve had, it feels like a real blessing to get out in shorts and a t-shirt. 7:07 avg.

Cold with sideways snow and wind. No thanks to running outside. I ran on the mill at the gym and couldn't take it anymore at the 5K mark. I'll use this as a rest day.

We had a few Birthday parties to go to today, so I didn't start this one until 3:45. The temps were nice, but it was a bit windy. I ended up shedding a longsleeve and gloves about 3.5 miles into the run and tied them around small tree. 6:51 avg.

No energy at all today. My opening mile of 8:05 was way to hard for me. I over dressed as well, which had me hot and pissed off. 7:31 avg.

It hit the 30 degree mark today at noon. I was able to wear shorts, but still needed a hat, spring gloves and sufficient layers up top. The day off yesterday brought some life back to my legs along with a right hamstring rub from my wife. I gave her a back rub in return...... our relationship is not a one way street.
Anyways, on to the run. I really felt good but decided that I would take it nice & easy due to the little niggles here and there. I wore the K-Mart special watch and thus didn't have the beep every mile to remind me of my pace. I figured with the effort level and ease of the run, I was probably running a 7:45 pace or so. I was pleasantly surprised after mapping out the route and calculating the pace that I was actually moving at a 7:19 avg. Rest days and shorts must be the reason. Some runs turn out good and some not so good. Wisdom....

Good confidence booster..... although I most definitely would have slowed if there were 6.2 more to go on this one. If I can stay even with my pacing on May 4th, I should be able to hit my BQ time of 3:15. Only time will tell :)
