Ran (indoors) for the first time in a week after I was incapacitated by a bad cold. The 20 minutes of running was the only time all day when I didn't cough.

Today
Distance: 5 miles
Pace: 8:10
Weather turning a page, as it will. Fifty degrees and it felt a little too hot, and that's troubling.

Today
Distance: 4 miles
Pace: Under an 8-minute mile
Could feel the extra distance this time, and the mile I added came with several more hills. The good news is that I felt noticeably stronger than last week. Still very tired the rest of the day, absurdly so for four miles.
Buds on the trees, daffodil stalks are up, and on the bushes a certain kind of tiny yellow flower.

Ice
In the 20-degree range this morning. Yet in all other respects, it's March. Lawns are shifting to green, as they usually do at this time. Birds happy, etc.

Today
Distance: 3 miles
Pace: 8-minute mile
Reassured myself that last week's time was not a stroke of luck, and maybe something I can keep up while running at a "natural" pace. I'm expecting my pace will collapse to at least a nine-minute mile when I reach a certain distance, so we'll see. This time I did not feel like stopping and taking a long nap halfway through, and that is progress.
Wind knocked over a little tree by the metro stop, and a crosswalk signal. This extreme wind happens all the time now. We are turning into Kansas.

Today
Distance: 3 miles
Pace: Under an 8-minute mile
My goal this year is to run for speed, as opposed to last year's goal just to keep going. How fast is too fast, I don't know. Started out at a sprint and had already slowed to a nine-minute pace by the last mile.
Weather is rising and crashing between 60 degrees and snowing. Today it was cold enough, pleasant hint of frost in the air.
