The weather was good and I needed to get out there. What I didn't count on was a road race being run on the same day, so I ran through a giant water sprinkler, which helped some. Weather was about as good as it gets for this time of the year, although that's probably a good explanation for why today was consistently faster. My ideal running weather is about another 20F cooler.

I also have to chalk up a little schadenfreude to this morning's run. When I'm competing (and when I run alongside racers, I'm competing) I was drawing more energy from burning people going uphill. It wasn't fast, but that little mental energy boost I would get from passing people going uphill was no joke, especially when passing 10-15 or so runners.
