Could NOT wake up this morning, so I was able to take an early lunch and run outside in beautiful weather. I might even make the news, as today is the first day in the 70s in 7 months and I was outside wearing shorts and a St. George Running Center singlet. I see some guy kneeling down on the sidewalk ahead of me looking into some gadget and wonder "what the...?" By the time I realized it was a local news crew I just kept on looking like a dork and running. I hope they caught me doing a farmer blow.
It was a solid run. Warmed up a bit first mile and towards the end of that mile I picked up the paces (cameraman was during this stretch) and kept it up. New watch only shows the pace of that current mile so I'm not sure where I was but I think 7:15 range. Kept that up for a bit then slowed down. On the turnaround I picked the pace back and up and kept it fairly strong. Last mile was 7:00 flat.

I love allie's approach of a 5K warmup to the marathon but we have few 5Ks in my city so I've been planning the past few days to do a time trial at the high school track. A couple hours ago I saw a flyer for a 3.75 mile race this Saturday morning, $25 entry fee. Sawheet! Signed up and I'm ready to roll. I sure wish it was a certified 5K but beggars can't be choosers. Well, they can be, but it just isn't right. Also don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
