RUN COMMUTE 7.1 miles in 1:15!
RUN COMMUTE 3.2 miles in about 30 mins
I usually don't time the homebound commute for some reason. Prolly because I don't want to wait for the Garmin to sync up, I'd rather get home.
We got our first real snow Sunday night, and lucky me I get to run 10 miles in it today and tomorrow, due to a schedule change for my sis visiting this coming weekend. The temps were low too, about 17-19 for the morning run. As usual I was overdressed. And mental.
Yep, another mental morning. Text chatted with Mom for awhile, that helped, but it wasn't until about mid way into the run when my head really cleared.
I love me some snow, but this was hard to run in, as evidenced by my time. Usually 7 miles is more like 1:05-1:10. I had the yaktrax on, they helped but only in terms of sliding on slick areas. It wasn't so much slick as it was thick!
Another think I like is when I run to work I tend to wear casual clothes the rest of the day :) Today I changed tops (overdressed = I sweated) but left my thermal tights on. Looked great with the hoodie, I'm sure.
The run home was an amazingly pleasant 33F. Which means everything started melting and getting a bit slushy. Which means tomorrow's forecasted 11F runs will be really iced!
