Workout: 4 Miles easy

Notes & Observations: So the official work out was “easy”, which I completely forgot about until I was about 3.75 miles into the run. Oops. I’ve been toying with the idea of running the Top Pot 5K in late April, which will be a good benchmark of how my speed has progressed over the past 4+ months. Perhaps in my subconscious I was testing myself today. It’s the first Monday run I’ve done in a while, and the first short(er) distance I’ve done (as part of a plan, not by accident). So I found myself doing a nice strong fourth mile when I remembered this was an easy day. Oh well. Better luck next time. Let’s hope today’s run cancels out the amazing hi-hat cupcake I had over the weekend, courtesy of Trophy.

Oh, by the way, I purchased a new running jacket this weekend, which likely assures us warmer weather from here on out, murphy’s law and all.
