Slept in a bit and did the Manette-Warren bridge route with the extension down around Lions Park. Shook me out of my rut, I haven't done that one since last summer. It's especially nice on a day when it's 50 and bright and sunny out, I even wore shorts for the first time. 

Legs felt rested and loose, I started out with a quick pace and kept it up without too much effort. Ran the whole thing right about 7:15 min/miles, a few with some hills were a little slower.  48 minutes total. (I bought a watch this weekend so that number is accurate. 15 years or so of running and I've never worn one before. Not once. Now I can know my splits, or at least develop some of the same obsessive-compulsive traits as most other runners. So I've got that going for me.)

A watch?? Say it ain't so! You may as well run with an iPhone now, so that you can check basketball scores while you run, and do live blog updates.
