What a day to be alive! Right now, Weather.com says that it's 47* outside! Isn't that incredible? I can't tell you how happy I am to see the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. (Am I speaking too soon?)
Today, Nick, Jennifer, Taryn and I went for our long runs. I mapped out a 7 mile course around Berrien Springs that looped from my house to downtown and back again.
It was a route that we'd never run before, but I really enjoyed it. Nick and I wanted to average 9:40/mile, and I even set up my Garmin to have a training runner on there to run that pace. Both of us got pretty tired, but we ended up dominating our pace and did it with a 9:20/mile average! That's getting close to where we need to be...under 9 min/miles for the Holy Half. We made sure to stretch really well after we were done so the soreness isn't as bad. Great day--Great run--Great weather!
The goal this week is to put in some short runs as well as some cross-training on my bike. It's supposed to rain some this week, so I'll probably still be on the trainer, but that's just fine.
