It was so cold I had to wear my tights, gloves, a jacket, and a headband for my ears and I didn't take any of it off the whole time except for my gloves the last two miles. I ran with a couple of people the first 6 miles at an 8:45 pace then I slowed down a little because of some hills and I was also running a little faster than I wanted to go. I ended up feeling pretty good, there was water out every two miles, so I wasn't dehydrated at all. I held around 9:00/mi most of the way back and picked up the pace the last two miles. I felt a blister starting to form on the back of my heel from the tights but it didn't bother me enough to stop and roll the tights up. I ended at an 8:58/mi pace overall.
My legs felt fine the rest of the day, no calf stiffness or quad soreness. |
