Well, I did it. And I didn't freeze to death. Came pretty close, though. It was seriously cold out there. My fingers were fine, but I couldn't feel my toes until the second mile. It's a strange feeling, not being able to feel your toes when you run. Very strange indeed.
Fortunately, I managed to avoid most of the wind nastiness by running with my back to the wind (my butt, however, was frozen) but the last 2 miles was into the wind. Holy, HOLY crap, it was cold. I'm talking burn-your-lungs-and-freeze-your-nostrils-together-and-want-to-keep-your-eyes-closed cold. A friend of mine suggested wearing my face mask, and I even dug it out of my ski bag, but then I forgot it at home. Doh. Well, anyway, my run ended at the BP station and I had the foresight to bring a few bucks with me so I was able to treat myself to a gas station hot chocolate while I waited for Josh to come and collect me. Usually I find them completely disgusting, but this one tasted soooo good. Ha.   Totals for the week: 14.02 miles @ 11:03 I was originally planning on hitting 17 miles week, but my right hamstring was squawking a little bit after my Wednesday run so I decided not to run. It was okay today, so I made the right decision. Next week I'll have 18 miles for the week with a long run of eight. I hope it's warmer! Trackbacks

It was 25 below at 6AM on Saturday. I was wondering if you'd venture out. Your time was awesome...9 minutes at fastest. Here's hoping it warms up into the 30's anyway. The cold wind is so relentless that it can just spoil the whole thing.
But it was a good run and keeps you on schedule. Add Comment
