It didn't register until I got back
Just how cold it was.
Brrr. That 9mph headwind out of the west made it a little colder than usual. But thank goodness it was a tailwind for the return trip. Footing was better and I even got in 4 striders at the 7 mile mark. I was feeling really... I'm not sure what I felt like. What's the word? Lethargic? Tight? Pent up? Anyway, I felt the need to do some fast turnover without straining and this stretched things out and I felt much better afterward. It was only telephone pole to telephone pole (with a pole length of rest between) four times but that was enough.
It must have been because yesterday's faster workout turned into a slow run due to weather. Now Monday morning. That will be interesting...
8.1 miles @ 8:20 pace. 135 HR.

Andrew,
I enjoy reading your blog. Training methods are very interesting. I am Mike's cousin and I live in Hinton, Alberta, Canada. Also a runner and triathlete. Currently training for Ironman Arizona in April. Started blogging about it recently at LOVE2TRI ALBERTA (Kinda stole the label from Mike). Good luck in your training!
And he leaves a comment on your blog 1st to announce himself! Maybe I do have some speedy genes after all..

Nice run Andrew. I hope we can get Sunday's long run in before the blizzard hits.
