AM: Got in 5 miles with Kim. Thanks Kim for dragging me out this morning, when the alarm went off I was more than ready to go right back to bed. Actually ended up being a nice run. Temps not too cold and no wind. Kind of turned into a bit of a progression run for Kim as we sped up most every mile finishing the last mile somewhere approaching Kim's 5K pace at 8:44. There was a bit of a stop in the middle for reasons I won't go into. I'll let Kim comment further on her blog if she feels so inclined. I'll just say we were thankful for churches that are open at 6:15am!

Noon: Went with Will and Russ on the Lakeview route. Russ turned around at 2.5 miles but Will and I went the 6 mile route. Another absolutely beautiful pre-spring sunny day. Ave pace: 8:20.

I'm glad you didn't give me any idea that you were ready to roll over and go back to sleep or I might have went right along with it! I feel really good about the run this morning and all this week. Thanks for working with me so much to help me improve! And yes, "Three cheers to the open doors of local churches in the morning!"

I'll leave the church thing alone! But great job both of you for getting out. Sounds like a fun run!
