The snow is melting, temps are creeping up and this winter seems to finally be dragging it's ass out of town. I love the snow and was amped to see Philly crush it's single season record with almost 80" of snow and still a chance to get more (including tonight) but I am happy to see the sun getting higher in the sky and snow cover quickly melting away.

With the change in seasons my running has been on the rise as well. I got out there four times last week for nearly 24 miles. Relative to the last 5 years this would be a low mileage week, as compared to the last 5 months, I am mileage monster.

I can feel the lack of fitness on these runs, especially when running a well known loop around Chestnut Hill. But really not as bad as I would expect.
