Spring Training

It was so nice to run without five layers plus hat and gloves! I have survived my first winter as a runner. I completed 5 races and discovered wool socks. I also spent more for one pair of running pants than I have ever spent for any single piece of clothing, but cured the frozen thigh issue.
Yesterday it was over 75 degrees and breezy. I ran in capris and a tshirt style champion shirt with no shoe socks. And it was hot! And it was crowded! I have had many runs during which I have seen maybe 1 or 2 people, yesterday it was a mob of walkers, dogs, kids, bikes, rollerblades, and the occasional runner. Several times I had to walk due to the press.
I have a 5K on Saturday and after that the miles will increase as I ready for the 10 mile Crim in August and the half marathon in October. Right now my focus is increasing distance and then I will go for time.
See you on the trails!
