Today's plan calls for a Speedwork Run.

Temps tonight started out at between (39) and (41) deg. F. before I left the house for my evening run. It is now down to (37) deg. F.
Other News: I rode my bike these evening for the first time in many-many months. I had to drop off some mail at the Post Office and decided I should ride my long neglected bicycle:

Surface Streets: Cycled to the Post Office and back. Had to stretch my legs. Round trip: (8.11)mi. according to cycle computer. Speed-avg: (8.6)mph. Burned: (289) Calories from the Post Office back home. [Forgot to turn on the timer on my Garmin when I left the house.] Cycling shoes.

This bike ride helped me warm up my legs before I went out for my evening run; my first run in over (2) weeks. Yikes.
