A Beautiful Wednesday

Today was a beautiful sunny day. Just gorgeous. Bright sunshine with temps around 22 and a light breeze. I read someplace, Chocolate Runners blog I think, Michigan has had 13 days with sunshine in 2006. Today was the best one so far.
Monday I went out for a run/walk. 4 miles in 50 minutes. Not fast I know but it wasn't a very nice day either. Cold and real windy. Not so much blowing snow like the weekend. Just a typical winters day. And half the time the wind was in my face. Brrrrr. A lot of slipping and sliding too. I really should break down and get a pair of Yaxtrax. I'm probably lucky I haven't hurt myself out there.
Today I only had time for a short run. 2 1/2 miles in 29 minutes. Again not fast but it felt good. Anytime the sun shines this time of year it is a good day. I had planned on the 4 mile run today but a last minute change in plans left me a bit short on time. So it goes. The roads are still slippery and that's the way they'll stay as more snow is forecast for this weekend.
Picked up a copy of the New York Road Runners Club Complete Book of Running and Fitness. It's a 2002 edition but is brand new. $6.98 clearance price for a $18.95 book. Sometimes it pays to shop the bargain basement at the local bookshop. I've only had time to skim through it so far. But I did see a note in regards to how beginning runners should jog until they build stamina before they run. Jog, say for, 30 minutes nonstop first. Then when one can do that consistently, try running. Of course all this takes weeks or even months to accomplish. Boy don't I know it.
I'll try to get a 4 mile run in tomorrow. My weekend to work in coming up and won't get another crack at it until Monday.
Until then. Cya bye. Will run for beer.
