5.21 miles--great pace

This has been an interesting week.  I've been busy at school with Read Across America and activities for the students, then we had a heavy snow on Tuesday night, closing school for two days.  We also lost power for three days, making running almost unthinkable.  I couldn't imagine running and then not being able to take a shower!  While we have a generator that powers our well water pump, it does not power the hot water heater, so cold showers would be excrutiatingly painful.  

Luckily, we were able to get power restored on Friday night, so I could run today. I ran 5.21 miles and kept an 11:36 pace.  It was still a bit cold but it felt good to get out and move.  The house had been pretty cold without power (we have a wood stove, but it doesn't heat the whole house).  Knowing that I could come home and take a long warm shower after running was satisfying and motivating.

At this point in my current running career, I have logged 450.3 miles on the road.  Amazing.
