Short-Sleeve Running

Certainly there are things about living in the South that aren't so good, but getting to go for an hour-long jog in February wearing short sleeves isn't one of them.  I listened to all of an old Dresden Dolls album and some of another playlist and basically enjoyed my first real outdoor exercise in about a month.  Along the way I managed a neat, pain free, non-embarrassing 6.4 miler.

The April race I was looking forward to is still MIA on Active.com, so I'm trying to decide what to do about maintaining my race schedule without disrupting the very delicate balance I think I've established between work and working out.  There is a tempting half marathon coming up in eight weeks, but that's a far cry from the 5K I was originally contemplating.

Also, I hit a new max on my squat yesterday.  Hack squats on the sled have really helped me build some leg strength recently.  Now that I've added them to the rotation I expect I'll see a lot more progress on the squats.
