Happy Birthday to me!!! :)

For the past couple of years I've always made it a point to run on my birthday. I just find its a great way to ring in a new year. Puts me in a good mood and sets me up for a great day (and hopefully a great year). So instead of running on Tuesday, I pushed my run to this morning and instead of a taxing tempo run, I gifted myself a comfortable, easy run. No pace to worry about. No set time. No target distance. Just run. 

I had a good run for about half an hour. Didn't push myself but kept going at a steady, comfortable pace. Ofcourse, at the end of it I did have a look at the distance covered, pace, time etc etc and I was happy to see that my "comfortable pace" clocked at 6'59" - a far cry from 7'45" (which was roughly what my easy pace was last year).

Happy B'day to me!
