The Cold One
Today's Run: 4.0 miles
Run Time: 44:49 minutes
Total Miles to Date: 842.9 miles
Thoughts on the Run:
Well, that was a cold one.
Sure, not as cold as it could be ... 40 degrees isn't too bad ... but for me, it felt chilly.
I came home and didn't event give myself to think about the run. I simply put on my long sleeved running shirt, reflector, and a skull cap and stepped out. The first mile was a struggle as I tried to breathe in the cold air and warm up. Fortunately, I start out on a hill so by the time I was on the top of the hill, I was feeling fine.
The last three miles were pleasant. My body temperature warmed up and the run felt extremely pleasant. I had a short down hill until just before the third mile, then the uphill left my legs burning. I didn't stop, however, and was rewarded with a pleasant finish. Just in time, too, as the temperature was falling rapidly and is due to be in the 20s (Fahrenheit) before the morning.
Until next time,
