Springy Winds

The schedule told me I had to get an easy 5k in today.   I didn't really want to go and I was kinda feeling a bit growly...like if Doodle were here she might do this:

(and, yes, you can use it...just don't alter it)

The weather Network was telling me this:

Which is considerably warmer than it's been all week...so I really had no excuses.  I pulled on my capris and a longsleeve and hit the road.

But keeping it easy was tough.  I really wanted to push myself.  So I decided I would push and then I would walk and I would just do that until I had 5k under my belt.

Unfortunately, I had to wait for the lights at Elbow and Southland...for like 4 minutes...sucks to be standing still for that long.  But the rest was smooth sailing.  AND WINDY!  For the first half of it, I was pushing against the wind the whole way.   Then, I was melting the whole way back on Macleod.   Luckily, I wasn't stopped by any more lights...though I did see a cop on the route and was worried he'd pull me over for going above my personal speed limit (bad joke, I know)

Between the run and a good calf stretch on the curb...I am feeling pretty good for this afternoon!

as long as I stop sweating already...my forehead is so glisten-y
