Wore the same stuff as for 30-degree days. It wasn't pouring, just a light misting sort of rain.

Maybe it's because I started out tired, or maybe because I'm timing myself and seeing how slow I am, but I felt really awful today. I took 2 walking breaks - maybe more - in this short route. I checked my pace on a 1/4-mile stretch and it was 2:45 (for an 11-minute mile). And I felt like I couldn't keep that up.

But! For the last 10 minutes or so, I ran along with the beat of my music (I brought music today - I don't usually) and it was a gut-busting pace. Felt like I was gonna die, but hey, I'm close to home. Overall time not too bad, considering.
