Easy run with a little bitty faster finish.

6:44 am, 43° F, 27% humidity, wind 8 SSW.

After freezing our hineys off last week, we're unseasonably warm this week. Go figure. There's still a bit of ice around, but not as much as two days ago.

I figure I'm okay with these short distances if that's what it takes to get some consistency back. The hardest part is getting dressed and out the door. If I can get into the habit of doing that, then increasing the distance is easy. Except that I need to start before 6:40 if I'm going to increase the distance since I have to be home around 7:00.

I went a little ways beyond my house this morning to get to an even quarter mile. And I tried to run a little faster for the last quarter mile.

AP: 9:57. Splits: 10:09, 10:00, 0.25 @ 8:56.

You definitely have the right mentality about all of it. Great job getting out there again.

Agreed. I like your attitude. The unseasonably warm weather (we've got it too!) probably helps in getting out the door!
