Faster pace

So today was back at a faster pace.  YES - I know most thought today would be a bike ride day.  Did you see the temps around here?  There was no way I was taking the new bike out in this.  The old bike I would manuever with inapprorpiate bike attire but not the new bike.  And since I only own tri shorts I didnt feel I would be warm enough.... And we can talk about how cold my ears get as well - but maybe another time.
So I kicked around the house for a while - straightening, laundry and the such.  Then I ventrued out to the Greenway.  I havent been there in ages.  I really hemmed and hawed (no sniff and scurry in this scenario) over going there.  But I am so glad I made the effort.  Sure there are other places that I could try but this is such a nice trail. AND today of all days - it wasnt that crowded.  Thanks goodness.  So down the trail I went.
Surprised myself with a run mix of 2 on 1 off for the first mile.  The second mile was a little more as comfortable.  The 2 miles back were mostly walks... I did sprint (or at least my version of a sprint during the ending LA LA LA LAlalalalalala part of KIDZ on my headset... It felt good but didnt make any marked change to my pace at that point.
It was just a good time.
From there I went to EarthFare and did some grocery shopping.  Always a more fun experience than the mass production of HT.  But had to go there too...  odds and ends.. propane... 
A good day.
Now to hydrate, stretch some more, and off to bed...
