Victory! (Kind of)

Well, I ran much better today. I think I was so frustrated about yesterday that I pushed myself more today. I ran outside in the bitter winter cold, wind and hills included. Lots of hills. It was sunny though, and I'm a big fan of running in sunny patches when it's chilly out. I headed out with the plan of running my usual outdoor loop when I thought of running downtown on top of the loop which boosted my run to a total of 4.32 miles in 47:06, which isn't horrible for me and hills--especially when I thought I was out of shape as of yesterday. Perhaps my body needed yesterday to be a simple run. I started getting tired on the last mile or so, but I pushed myself up the last of the few hills. Luckily, the stretch downtown is mostly flat, minus running over the train bridge. So all and all, happy with my run and it was definitely good to get some fresh air, even when it was quite cold outside.
