Springtime Run

Pretty daffodils in bloom!

I take a strength training class at the gym on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Usually, I go to the gym and do a half hour of cardio before the class. But yesterday--the third day of Daylight Saving Time--was way too nice (and light!) out to go for a run or bike ride at the gym. So I went out for my first it's-still-light-out evening run of the year! The weather was amazing and there were so many people out in my neighborhood running, walking (alone and with dogs), biking, scootering, and just generally enjoying the beautiful weather. Even though I'm uncertain whether it's actually good (in an environmental sense) to have such warm weather so early in the year, I am loving it.

(On a less pleasant note, I am sore today! Most of my outdoor runs the last few months have been with my training group and I typically run those at a fairly slow pace. Last night's run was hilly and fast [comparatively speaking] and I really pushed myself. That + my TRX class = soreness today.)
