BRRRRRR!  It was very cold this morning.  There were times when my chest was bothering me and it felt like my heart was skipping beats.  I'm sure once I acclimate to the bitter cold it will get better. My pace is finally starting to improve.  It is still a little slow but at least there is an improvement.

Andy,

You're a lot tougher than I am. Even when I'm healthy I don't like running in these temps. I've been battling a bad cough from a cold so I'll stick with the treadmill for now.

Andy there was no way I was going outside today! Are you kidding me it was like zero degrees. Is there and circumstance where you would run on a treadmill?

I chickened out this a.m. because of the cold and now I'm ashamed of myself. Should have gone!!!

I wimped out too. I don't mind the cold. It's the icee road that scares me. I just can't get a quality workout in these messy roads.

Glad to hear your pace is improving and you're getting acclimatized to the cold.

This kind of cold would definitely slow your pace. So, maybe your pace wasn't a little slow but a little fast when adjusted for the cold.......

Kathie - The only time that I have run on a treadmill was when I wanted to get in an afternoon run and my kids were too young to leave alone.
