It was cloudy but with seasonal temperatures today and the sun even shined briefly, so weather-wise it was pleasant enough for the run.

The arc of the run was about the same as it’s been lately, though the first km was a bit perkier than normal, followed by the usual slowdowns from the second to fourth km before picking up again for the last km, which was again my fastest at 5:14/km. This is not an entirely unwelcome trend, as it feels good to end on a high (or fast) note.

No real complications to speak of. The right heel was a bit sore but didn’t seem to affect my pace (it has helped me focus more on my form which is a good thing) and all of my other body parts co-operated.

Overall, a solid effort toward getting back to my pre-cold pace.
