I'm pretty happy with the way last week turned out (see below). Monday's run was a carryover from the weekend. My goal was to run 4 solid days in a row, Friday through Monday (today). This mission was accomplished.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday's runs were conducted in some violently cold weather. Additionally, Thursday's run also featured some incredibly cold wind. For the last three days, I've run in temperatures ranging between -13 and -25 degrees F, in the middle of the afternoon. It hasn't been even close to approaching zero since Wednesday. It's just plain dangerous to be out there for very long. Resultingly, my runs have been shortened by a bit each day, to make them, quite literally, survivable. I'm okay with it, though, as it's a recovery week. Besides, I feel pretty freaking tough being out there at all.
Well, this week panned out just fine, despite the debilitating weather we had for 3 days. I didn't reach my 9:15 running goal, but I also didn't wimp out on running outside in this season's coldest temperatures so far. I actually took a picture of a frosty me on the day I ran when it was -17 degrees F. But it is so far beyond ugly that I cannot and will not post it. I did all the requisite cross-training, which I'm elated about, and even added in a little extra time on the bike trainer to calm yesterday's anstiness.
On to bigger and better weeks!
