Easy run with 10x0:30 pickups at 6:30-7:00 pace. I felt good, and my pace was faster than on comparable runs in the past. More importantly, I felt pretty smooth. The weather, however, threw a surprise at me: it wasn't supposed to rain, but around 15 min. into my run, the skies opened up and cold wet snow followed, coupled with terrible wind (AGAIN!) straight into my face.It actually felt sharp, like hail. I couldn't even see where I was going, so I stopped my pickups until I turned and the snow was coming at an angle. 15 minutes later it was gone, but the wind continued. I was glad I wore my SportHill top, it's really warm. Total time: 52:04 (8:32 pace). |
