6:30am 62 degrees sunny, breezy--gorgeous day

I was going to do an easy run today but it was so nice today that I did some threshold miles and threw in some hills (which were on accident b/c I thought I was going to do an easy run) The yellow dog was with me and he did great too. Based off my last 5K my VDOT is 33 so my T pace should be around 9:33.

I am not remembering why I would go for my run at around 9am starting in the winter/fall time. One it is warmer and lighter out but there are also less cars. School started yesterday and I have to say there are three times as many drivers on the road. And kids are walking to school and when I have the dogs they want to pet them (which I do not allow). Just seems to be more of a hassle than a fun run when there is all that conjestion!

Now that I have taken the dogs for a walk, the skies have clouded over. Looks awesome out. I love storms. I have a concert to go to tonight that I"m pretty excited about (Nickleback)

Splits (my average speed was 9:41--you better believe I was happy about this!)
