Perfect running weather today--about 45 degrees, sunny, and gorgeous!  This is a very hilly route, and I just relaxed and didn't pay attention to pace--ran comfortably.

Keep it up, Cara! One of these days I've got to get to one of your races so I can chant Cara! Cara! as you break the tape! Of course, I'd take the opportunity to tell everyone around me that that's my coach. I'm sure they'll be thinking, "Then why the heck aren't YOU out there running?" LOL
