Nice run. My legs didn't feel as fresh as last Monday so I didn't push it but I didn't slack either. I put the pace at 8:20ish and kept it there, nice and steady. It was a bit cold out, probably my coldest run this year, but not bad at all. The worst part of a cold run is a cold face. I took a mile or so for my face to warm up. It took my hands about that long too with my thin glove. After 4 miles my hands were too warm so I took my gloves off. That didn't last long, the sun had set and the temperature dropped. I had to stop and put them back on a couple miles later. The temperature started at 27 and ended at 20! Quite a drop for an hour. But still, I wasn't cold and could add more layers for much colder temperatures. The thermometer is always more intimidating than the actual temperature. I hope that by not pushing it as hard this week that tomorrow's run will be a bit better than last Tuesday. |
