<p>Wow.... really? Where is everyone? Out having fun, I hope.</p>

<p>Great run as usual, ksrunr. I sure don't envy you your conditions with the wind, and later the heat...</p>

<p>Rip, maybe you should start from the low end of the difficulty scale, and work up to where it feels right. Just a thought...</p>

<p>We're having beautiful weather this weekend, with temps in the mid to upper 50's, sunshine and melting runoff everywhere! I got out for 10.5 miles today, took an easier route (thanks to the bikepath being all cleared off!) so not so hilly. Kept the effort easy, and the overall average was 8:31 for the whole run. Got a little harder up the hill the last two miles, but not bad. And I'm not coughing so much, so that's good! Tomorrow's plan is 20... we'll have to see how that goes.</p>
