It was 62 degrees when I woke up this morning, and the showers were clearing, so Brian encouraged me to go for a run. It’s really disconcerting to go running in January without wearing any fleece. I was still too hot in a thin long-sleeved shirt and tights. This started out as a normal run, in that my knee began hurting after about 15 minutes. I re-discovered, however, that I just take an extremely long time to warm up. I started feeling quite good once I got to High Street, and was able to pick up the pace without pain for the last 15 minutes on the way home. In hindsight, this was the reason I decided to run a marathon a several years ago. Clearly a 5K or even a 10K is not a long enough race when it takes 30-45 minutes to hit my stride.

So, I enjoyed the run, but was wishing I could have gone snow shoeing today.
