Dawn Patrol.  Out the door at 545 AM, per custom.  Inaugurated Week Four of Hal Higdon's regiment with a thoroughly chill five miles around the campus. The weather was very tolerable: temps in the low 40s with a pretty decent North wind.  It was such a radical change from the last month that it felt like Spring time in Vienna.  Ran in shorts.  Layered long-sleeves with gloves and a cap.  Started slow, but finished a bit faster than my recent averages.  5.04 miles in 47:56 for a 9:31 min/mile pace.  Mixed Veggie Mix on the box for musical accompaniment.  Chest and Tri planned for Tuesday.  Six miles on Wednesday.  It's an addiction, I suppose.
