After a few treadmill runs, I was back outside today! It was 40F and beautiful. Well, ok, it was overcast and muddy, but just the fact that I could run outside made it beautiful. I ran a total of 4 miles. What was wonderful is that my son joined my on his bike for the first 2.5 miles. I basked in the birds (including a redwing blackbird and a cardinal!) but I could have done without the saturated dog poo and yucky melting snow. But, that comes with the end of winter. It's a necessary evil, I guess.
My average speed was 12:13 min/mile. My SmartCoach running plan from Runner's World told me to run a 12:38 pace, so I was right on. I'm still sore from yesterday, especially my glutes, but not too bad. I can walk without waddling. Also, no lower back pain, so the 90 deadlifts must have been ok!

yuck...the soggy dog poo...it's everywhere!! Where I run I also have soggy goose poo. Gross.
Ew, soggy goose poo is worse, I think, because there is usually so much of it. We have a ton of rabbit poo balls, but those aren't near as bad.
