A beautiful day in Texas, but the forecast for Saturday was for freezing temperatures and rain or sleet. I took off from work at 3:00 PM and went down to Townlake and had a great run all by myself. I did the 10 mile Longhorn Dam loop, and then the 5 mile loop. The left shin felt great. Despite taking off 3 weeks for recovery for the left shin, and missing my two long runs for Boston prep, this 15 mile run gives me hope to have a decent run in Boston. Hopefully I can run fast enough to qualify for next year's Boston.
And a weather note. Saturday Aprill 7th it was a record cold weather day and we got sleet and snow in central Texas. I have been out shooting video of the snow flakes, many of them were the giant beautiful snow flakes like I would have expected to see when I lived in Utah. I'm sure glad I did my 15 mile run on Friday. |
