The dog bowl forecast was positively glorious today: 100% above freezing weather! Hurrah! After getting a few errands done this morning, I stepped out the door just before noon for today's scheduled three-miler. (Wave a sad good-bye at Tuesday's entry, because there are no more 2-milers on the schedule until May 11th, just 5 days before race day. It's three miles or more from here on out!)Although being outside is always enjoyable, today wasn't quite as blissitude-inducing as last Thursday's run. It was a bit colder, it was overcast, and there was a rather bracing breeze out of the north. Still, it beats the gerbil wheel any day. I ran shockingly well (for me, anyway), covering 3.15 miles in 33:20 for a 10:35 pace. This new four-day-a-week running schedule is clearly agreeing with me.
Even better, my dog can finally drink from the water bowl again instead of whamming his nose into it and looking all surprised before he starts licking the ice! Life is good, people. Life is good.
