A day late, a mile short.

A while back, I set a personal goal to get up to a 10 mile run before March. Well, work (as you know if you've followed this blog), has taken a toll on my training lately, which has left me no time for long runs during the week. Today was such a beautiful day (30 degrees and sunny), I decided to get a long mile under my belt. My original intention was to run 6-7 miles, but then when I was around 5 miles, I was very happy with the way I felt, so I decided to modify my route and add on some distance.

At the time, I had no idea how far I'd run, but I figured it would be around 9 miles (guaged by the time I ran, which was 1 hour 35 minutes. After tracking it on google maps, it turns out that I almost made it that far...8.81 miles. Well, I don't mind rounding that up to 9 miles in my mind...close enough for government work, right? Ok, so I didn't get the 10 mile run in BEFORE March. But I came close! I'll take it.

On a different note, today I saw the first sign of spring. No, it wasn't a robin in my front yard. It was a cyclist riding down Lakeshore Drive, a very welcome sight indeed.
