Running in the Cold

OK, it is amazing how much you forget how cold affects you when running, after only a month away.

I have been running 5 miles Mondays, 7 on Wed, and 10 on Fridays. then every other day upper body work outs.

So to day I went for my 5 mile run???????? Forgot my neck gator, forgot how cold 25 is, forgot how to breath in the cold, and forgot how cold affects my knees.

Barely survived, and I thought I was doing really well?
I need to ramp up my cold weather running if i want to finish my 1st 13.1 in march.

Going to be a challenge.
I finished my 5 miles, at the 61 minute mark, which is about average for me, and a good pace for older run/ walkers like myself.

Today reminded me that I am not a runner....... I am a moves faster than normal type of guy.

My goal for the Rock CF is to finish, be nice if under 3 hours.

take care check back later
