Isn’t it supposed to be March?

Yesterday it was 81 degrees here in Minneapolis.
Eighty. One. Degrees.
As a result, I got my first outdoor run of the season out of the way! Since it was the first “off the treadmill” run of the season, I only ran just short of 2 miles. That first non-treadmill run is a killer. I do run faster off the treadmill, however, and my overall average minutes/mile have dropped below 12:00 now.
I wish the Nike+ thing had the feature to indicate when you’re running as opposed to walking. When I start and end my runs, I walk for 2-4 minutes and that really screws up my average pace listing. In all reality, I’m between a 11:00 and 10:30 minutes/mile pace. And I really haven’t been training that hard yet.
My goal for this year is to run that 10k that I wanted to do last year. Now that we’ve gotten a gym membership at the new Fitness 19 that opened up near our house, it’ll really help having more than just a treadmill/running outside to get in condition for the 10k.
It’ll be back down to the 40’s (normal temperature for this time of year) by the weekend. Oh well, I’m going to enjoy the awesome weather while it lasts!
