About the Run: With a very small and tentative voice I will say that Spring has sprung here in New York. I hesitate to shout it due to our propensity for late March and even April snow storms that can blanket a very reluctantly springy city in white. In any event, today was a beautiful day to be outside. I got home and immediately headed out the door, taking my dog Bubba with me, for a quick run.
Our run began, of course, with Bubba trying to pee on everything not moving. We headed on our normal route, enjoying every ounce of warm sunshine. the run was quick and Bubba did well, mostly taking it slow, but putting on big bursts of speed every now and then.

Brandon,
I am on a natural high and feel the need to share. I love Daylight Savings Time, especially since the local college where I do speed work no longer lights the track at night. Wednesday’s are always speed day.
So, I head down to the college after work. It’s a beautiful setting with eucalypsis trees surrounding the perimter of the track and a nice grass infield. The night was warm and perfect.
I love the energy of a local college track. There were about 30 people doing a multitidue of activities: running, walking, sprinting, hurdles, running stairs, frisbee, long jumping, high jumping, and walking lunges. I dig that.
Now get this, after completing my intervals I ran for 10 minutes barefoot. It was awesome. I am a little worried though…last week I caved and got twitter, tonight I run barefoot. What’s next? Tri’s?! Oh, the horror.
