Easy run. Average pace: 9:31.

Weather: 44°F, 58% humidity, wind 4 SW.

I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. But I did finally manage to pull myself up and get out the door. I started my run at 5:58.

It got quite warm yesterday and a lot of the snow melted. The sidewalks were almost all clear this morning. I did encounter a couple of shady spots where the water from the melting snow had frozen a little and it was a little slick, but other than that, it was fine. Another warm day today should get rid of the rest of the snow except for the big piles created by snow plows.

I recently bought the book Once a Runner by John L. Parker, Jr., which is finally back in print. I finished reading it last Sunday. If any of my regular commenters would like to borrow it, send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send it to you.

I'm looking forward to a 4-mile easy run tomorrow.

At least b/c the sun is out earlier it is a little easier to get out of bed! Great run!
