After a treadmill run on Tuesday I was back outside today...and as I had said before. It's not the running outside that is the hard part, it's actually easy, but it is the mindset to go outside that is difficult. It was overcast, no wind and 26 degrees...a great day to go out and run. I was able to get 5 miles in today...and after it is all said and done...it feels good.

I went slow and steady to start and was able to regulate my breathing from the start, that is such a huge part of a good run. I have found out that if I don't get my breathing down early it is hard to get regulated into the run. I have to be conscience about that.

I found myself hovering at 4.6 miles at the 56 minute mark so I kicked it up so I could complete 5 miles in under an hour. I succeeded...and luckily it was just about at my cool down corner. Task accomplished!
