Lunch Time Run

I will make this short and sweet

Got out a hour later (thanks to a conference call), temps in the 60s and sunny.

6 miles in 59:16 (9:53 avg)
Plan was to stay 9:45-10:00 pace, had I not had to deal with poochies I would have been dead on.

9:40
9:56
10:21 (had to stop because of dog on trail without leash)
10:03 (ditto like above)
9:29
9:46

I don't mind dogs, but I would wish owners would keep there dogs on leashes. I am sure Benji, is perfectly harmless, but when he is coming at me barking and growling and wont let me by, I so start to worry. I'm just sayin', dog owners please go on your way.

like shoes, but starting to get weird blisters on inside of heel. I hope its just the insoles.

Todays lunch time run

6 miles in about 1:03 (about a 10:37 avg) in wind and temps about 17-20 degrees.

When the wind kicked up it kicked. Bundled up and kept the pace real slow, really slow.

If I can mentally get out and do these runs, I firmly believe that training will be great.

Key is to understand that when it gets very cold (and just like when it gets very hot) you have to go slow.

As far as what was worn here is the list:

1 set of WrightSocks with another pair of thicker socks over them
Nike tights
Champion C9 pants
Adidas "under armour" type shirt
Champion C9 long sleeve
Champion C9 9" zipper thick pull over
Champion C9 wind jacket
red stocking hat
Nike running gloves

might have been a little overkill but it kept the chill out
