A long run on a nice day

THursday afternoon, I experienced probably the nicest day, overall, that I've had to run in since early last fall. It was brightly sunny, and almost sixty degrees. (It's supposed to be warmer the next few days - almost too warm for my tastes, as it pushes eighty.) Accordingly, I ran 10 miles, in a little over 1:44. This was not quite as good a time as I had hoped for, but still I was glad to be able to do it at all. As I ran, I listened on my iPod to a new "Running" playlist I had compiled, beginning and ending with the theme from "Chariots of Fire." I figured this big run would be a good help in preparing me for the half-marathon I'm planning to run on May 31.
