Cracked 60 mpw again. A good start to Bayshore training. The weather is on its slow improvement cycle, and while spring isn't in the air by any stretch of the phrase, it just feels...warmer. I'm sure I'll take that back on Wednesday when it doesn't get any warmer than the teens, but it does feel like winter is loosening its grip.
I'm starting to get the urge to race again. There was a 5K in Novi, but I passed on it. The temps were warm enough yesterday that I probably should have run it. I haven't done anything fast outside the marathon since December 30 so it's about time to introduce a little speed back into training, especially since most of the snow is off the sidewalks.
My niece's baptism has been set for March 15th, so now Shamrocks is off the table for me. So I definitely need to find a nice little 5/10K somewhere in SE Michigan between now and then. Next weekend looks pretty sweet, so maybe I'll race this little 4 miler I found south of Detroit (Riverview Winterfest 4mi) on Sunday. Have to see if the weather holds.
