"Cool Running"

Just perfect actually!  About 3 degrees with clear skies.  I can still wear shorts and a light, long sleeved top.  I do wear gloves at this temperature cause there's nothing worse than cold hands.  All that translated into a very good 20 kilometers today.

After 3 false starts!  The first time I only got as far as the garage before I realized my runmeter wasn't working correctly.  The second time I got as far as the road and actually started jogging before I realized that I didn't have my lifesaver.  Yes literally a lifesaver candy. Without one of them or something like it my mouth will be so dry I will be gagging in 5 minutes.  The third time I got to the road again before I realized that I didn't have my sunglasses on.  I had taken them off in the house to find the lifesaver!

I suggested to Roo that maybe I have early onset Alzheimers but  she said,  "no, you're just stupid!"  I suppose it don't really matter which though, because neither of them are curable.

You know what's a really cool feeling?  Going to bed at night with anticipation, because you know that tomorrow is your long run day.  To actually be looking forward to getting up to go and run 20 kilometres!  Yes, very cool!

Anyway, I really like where I'm at with my running.  Today I went under 5 min kilometres for my 20k, which is exactly where I want to stay.  The plan going forward will be to try to maintain that pace (and the effort) while extending the distance. 

And that's it for today folks.  Enjoy your saturday evening.
