good day

what a beautiful day it was today! brilliant blue skies, fresh late winter air...this is what it's all about. i had a couple of errands to run so i decided to go to the local high school to run on the track. Jackie and Mason joined me. Jackie's doing awesome. She did about 3 miles today. She'll be more than ready to run in her first 5k race in may. i didn't keep track of all the laps i did...i'm guessing around 5 miles. i know i'm getting faster because i had my stopwatch today timing my laps. my last lap was 1:46. about a 7min/mi pace. it'll be awhile before i can maintain that pace for 5+ miles but it'll come. i never thought i would enjoy running so much. i feel so awesome after a run. i felt so awesome i picked up a double burger and stawberrry milkshake on the way home. mmmm....

it's supposed to be equally nice tomorrow. i think i'll join tom, chris, amanda and others for a mtb roadie ride. i'm hoping to get about 2hrs. saddle time and enjoy the sun. it'll be good to get back on the bike outside.

i looked at the long range forecast and it's supposed to be in the 60s next weekend! i hope the rain holds off because that would be awesome spending 3-4hrs. on the bike and not freeze! i've already got spring fever!!!
