Today we woke up to a winter wonderland. It was only maybe 1cm of snow on the ground but it was enough to make it pretty. It was just around 1 degree and the temperature just kept climbing while we were out there. The only slight problem was that the little bit of snow made the sidewalks a little bit slippery. Overall it was the perfect day for a run though!! I ran 6.56k in 57mins. I was supposed to run 60 mins but forgot about stopping my watch at red lights. My Garmin said 60 mins so I stopped. I was a bit disappointed because I thought I could make it to 7k in an hour. When I connected it to the computer to upload my run I came to realize that I had only done 57mins. Ah ha!!! On the plus side I ran 5k in about 44mins which is considerably less time than the last timed 5k I ran. I'm quite happy with that. I knew I was getting close to 5k so I started watching the time since one of my goals for the month was to increase my 5k time by a minute. I did it :)
Tomorrow is supposed to be a 40 minute recovery run which I will do bright and early before the day gets started. We have really no plans for the day. I'm going to make a big pot of chili for supper and maybe some fresh bread. I haven't made fresh bread in a while and I think it's time. I'm looking forward to the next two days of relaxing and just hanging out with the family.
