A good Saturday

Since I am planning to run a half-marathon on May 31, I realized I needed to step up my mileage in preparation for it, so I went out this morning just past 7 AM and ran 11.3 miles in slightly under 2 hours. It was 32 degrees when I left, and 38 when I finished, so the run was brisk ... but there was no wind to speak of, and a mixture of sun and clouds. Later in the morning I drove the route of the half-marathon in order to begin familiarizing myself with it ... most of it follows Huron River Drive between Dexter and Ann Arbor, which is a nice, winding, tree-lined road that has the river in close proximity much of the time.
