another beautiful spring morning

Another beautiful spring morning for a run. It was 49F and shortly past dawn when I left the house. I ran down to the W&OD trail, on the trail for a few miles, and then home. 4.49 miles at an 8:53 average pace. The birds were chirping, the honeysuckle was in bloom along with the flowering trees and the air was sweet with their perfume.

I did a 10 minute warm-up at an 11 minute pace. I almost did no walking; when I was out of breath, I just slowed down to a 10+ minute pace, and that allowed me to catch my breath without losing as much time.
