One more frigid early morning. It’s been well below normal all week. Still a bitter wind and temperatures around 6 degrees. It’s risky to put in any distance and get several miles from home. One pothole and you’re walking/limping home and getting very, very chilled. Walking does not generate heat, and after running for several miles you’ll be at least a little damp. I had to walk home once in frigid conditions, and even a little over a mile was bone-chilling.
Today’s run was a 4.39 mile rather flat route with a short, 10+% grade hill at the end. Pace was 10:42. Total climb was about 210 feet.
