Agree, although my cold and your cold might be different. Today it was low-40's and drizzly, and I wound up in normal shorts and a long-sleeve stretch shirt - ditched the wind shirt after a mile. Ah well.

Just started getting into running now that I have more time due to winter break.
I must say I hope to make it a daily habit.
Started off with 2-3 miles and some basketball these last few days.
Have shed some time off each day also.
Feels pretty good.
I need to get some running shoes though!

Nothing wrong with your pace!


4.5 yesterday, averaged 7.45 min mile (which is very very fast for me).

Today will be a longer one before more snow hits. Its been super cold.

speaking of super cold...it was 33 outside so I bundled up and struggled a bit. Totally forgot about protecting my nipples and I was smuggling raisins well into the run. Anyway, 6.7 miles in 52:19.

Ran just under 10, froze my arse off.
I didnt wear tights as I had planned on negative splits, 1/3 the way through I decided to run to the lake and do a few hill intervals. Got to the lake and took a few pics, froze ****** in the wind, and it started snowing.
longest since June.
Listened to:
Budos Band II
Budos Band III
Part of "Our Love To Admire"-Interpol

Next week we are supposed to hit below zero temps! Guess I will start preparing to be cold....

8.2 last night
14.5 today in 1:46:16.
Ran mostly on trails which is a nice change of pace from my typical pavement pounding. Got muddy & had to climb up bluff - had an awesome time!

3 miles, this morning, in a light snowfall. It was fun to see the shoe tracks of other early morn runners and the foot prints of the other critters who were out and about.

^^ man, you make the snow sound so nice. Too bad it's so damn cold.

Today I didn't run but I pulled out the old jumprope for 15 minutes of rope-skipping to keep the calves engaged. Hadn't done this in over 10 years but it felt strangely productive and winded me pretty quickly. I think I have a new off-day routine.

4.5 mile recovery run from my ball freezing run yesterday afternoon. Its sunny, not so cold, fresh layer of snow on the trails....too bad its going to be a winter nightmare over the weekend.
