Easier to run today. MUCH warmer, and no snow.
adjusted my run distance to the actual course. Had to run around the library parking lot
a couple times to finish, but it worked out fine.
was able to finish stronger as well.
after about 1 mile, I am warmed up and it feels much better. After that, I feel a more "running" feel than older runs. I am also able to correlate speed dips to course features, like the 1st long hil is just after the 1 mile mark, and I can identify other features as well. That certainly indicated that I am getting stronger since I can maintain a more steady pace and my speed on the hill is improving.
