I had a good run today. I had to bundle up again. I am getting really sick of the cold. I am so ready for Spring weather. When I checked the weather last night it had said it would be 19 degrees but feel like 13 so I added an extra layer on top. Thankfully I was warm and comfortable the whole time. Except for my butt - it's always the coldest part of my body! I find this weird because it seems to me like you use your butt just as much as your legs for running. I don't get it. By mile 5 the face mask started to bother me. It had gotten so wet from my heavy breathing. While I love that the face mask ensures I have warm air to breathe, it def makes it harder to breathe. At least it wasn't wet and cold - it stayed warm as long as I was breathing under it. I guess it just comes down to what I'd rather have a) warm air that is hard to breathe or b) cold air that is hard to breathe. I think I'll take a. So I ran 7 miles in 65 minutes. I ran the first 5 miles at a nice steady pace (10:11 miles), but then I just wanted to get home so I sped up the last 2 miles. When I got home Brent informed me that the feels like temperature (according to his iPhone) was 1 degree! Yes, 1 degree. How crazy! I can't believe I ran in such bitter cold. I never checked the weather again this morning before my run so I am taking his word for it. Let's hope this is the coldest run I will have the rest of training! Then I can say if I can run in what feels like 1 degree then I can run in virtually anything. Come on warm weather!
129/463 miles complete!
