The weather got a little warmer Saturday morning, so I went out for an easy 4-ish miles. I didn’t get much exercise in with the cold weather and Christmas activities throughout the week, so I wanted to make sure to get a good run in before I spent another full day driving. Since I didn’t have a good outing last Sunday, I wanted to test out my knee again and see how it would do with some more hills. It went surprisingly well and reiterated that I need to continue to work on building hills into my running routes. My overall pace was 10:45, which is considerably faster than my goal pace of 12:00, but it felt comfortable, so I didn’t worry too much about how fast I was going. 

Mile 1 – 10:16
Mile 2 – 11:11
Mile 3 – 11:40
Mile 4 – 10:10
Last .30 – 2:52
