Good Run Thursday

Had a good run Thursday. 3.5 miles in 37 minutes. Good for me anyway. Went straight up the road to the north as far as the T-intersection and back. 2 big hills to contend with and I survived. A cool 22 degrees and the sun tried to burn through the high overcast, but didn't quite make it. A light breeze out of the north made for a cool run on the way out but it was OK on the way back. Got all my stretching in and felt pretty good when I finished. I'm still thinking of longer runs but need to work out the time for them.
One thing that could change my routine, and I don't know if it will be for the better, is a possible shift change at work. An opportunity for a day shift may be on the horizon. White mans' hours. 8 to 4:30 Monday through Friday. It would mean a tad less money as we earn a shift premium for off hour work. Also means I would run in the dark, at least in the winter. Well, I can't worry about something I don't know for sure will happen, yet. My wife is receptive to the idea because she thinks I'm missing too much kids after school activities. And not seeing enough of each other. She has a point there. Food for thought right now.
Also thinking a new pair of shoes is in order. Nothing wrong with the Sauconys' but no need to wait til I have a blowout to get a fresh pair. Maybe this week Ill shop the local Dunham's and try a few pair on for size. Don't have anything particular in mind. Yet.
Monday I'll try to go longer. Not necessarily distance but time for sure. If I could go the pace I did last time out 4 miles in under 40 minutes is doable. 6 miles in an hour and small change can be forseen. If I found a nice flat route... Hey, every boys gotta have a dream. Trouble is, for me, all the flat runs nearby, I have to drive to. That's a waste of my precious time.
Alrighty then. Til next time. Will run for beer.
