Today actually started faster than I thought.

I almost slept in - as my alarm cooked off at 5:00am, I debated whether I really felt like running or not. Fortunately, beter sense prevailed and I decided to go out for a quick 5k or so.

Based on splits, I guess I felt too froggy at the start. I did feel pretty quick at the start, but didn't count on the monster positive splits. Ah well. Tomorrow's speedwork anyway.

Any thoughts of waiting until later was offset by today's weather advisory:
