So I came straight home after class and got dressed and went out. I am proud that I did not waste time and got right out before my body talked me out of it. The weather was warm and I wore shorts for the first time outside since fall. It was a nice feeling. I did wear a couple of layers up top and that was overkill. I just figured with the wind that I might get a little chilly. I was incorrect.
As you have probably guessed I am not used to running mid-afternoon. I was really expecting to see more people out running. I did see a group of 5 girls that may have been a part of some team. But I am not sure. The sun was nice and warm....but there was water and ice still everywhere. I stepped in quite a few puddles along the way, and that is something I did not enjoy.
The run itself was ok. To be honest, I still think I am feeling the effects of the blood donation last week. I am just not used to feeling weak when I run. I did manage to make it the whole way without walking....so I will take that and be happy with it. My time was not great....57 mins and 45 secs, but I got the distance in.
