Where's the Beach?

Wow, Monday again? How'd that happen so fast? Rhetorical of course because Monday always happens way faster than Friday. It was a pretty good weekend around here. Nice weather certainly helped. It usually does of course. I'm still trying to wrap my head around warmer running weather though. Saturday we set out for our run around 10 and it was about 60 degrees, sunny.

At the time, I felt like I was working really hard and expected to have major wobbly legs. But really the only thing I'm feeling is a bit in the hamstrings and no quads at all. Probably not a terrible thing as I do need to work on the hams. I did realize today that I desperately need some different music for lifting vs running.
