11 easy miles in the morning. I was tired of running on the treadmill so I bundled on the layers and vertured out into the cold and wind. These were the coldest conditions I have dared face this winter. Thanks to a lot of clothes I was fine. I did finish the run with drops of ice on my eyelashes and eyebrows.
I failed to mention that Sunday's run left me pretty sore. I must be a little out of shape if 12 miles at a decent pace does that. I suppose I need to start picking up the pace on my easy runs. I have been trying to avoid pacing myself recently, instead going by time rather than distance. I have ususlly been running at what feels like a 7:30 pace although I suspect I often go slower, especially when the conditions are bad. |
