After lask weekends snowstorm that dumped 12 inches in the area - I was thinking it'd be a couple weeks before I could even think about running again due to sidewalk ice. I had let myself get excited from the warm stretch of weather in late February.
But fortunately, some warm weather for the weekend prevailed, leaving the sidewalks free and clear. The first real time its been around 60 degrees in months - I couldn't let that opportunity slip by.
As an additional benefit, the clocks would be set ahead this weekend - so the major impediment to running on a more regular basis, the fact that it is generally dark when I get home from work, would likely be going away. Before too long, I should be able to run 3-4 times a week. Fewer times than that, and improvement is slow, at best.
So today I did my 5 mile loop. Although the weather was real nice, and I would have enjoyed something longer like 10-12 miles - I didn't want to put that much stress on the joints after having a few months off.
Total Distance: 5.25 miles
Total Time: 50:45
Avg HR: 163
