Not a lot of miles but they were definitely quality miles.  Met Tara at Davis Blvd. for an early morning run.  Clean air and temps were not bad (other than frozen hands because of misplaced gloves).  There was definitely a disconnect between the effort we were putting in and the pace that was registering on our watches.  Overall average pace was 8:00/mile and it felt hard.  Not a good sign for my 1:45 pacing duty next Saturday.  The slight upgrades killed me and the slight downgrades felt great.  Wonder if the treadmill running is making the variable elevations of a real run more difficult to handle.

I felt good about this one despite the time. I registered 7:56 pace, but I also stopped it at the intersection when we had to stop. Regardless, it was basically 8 but felt like 700 effort!:) Maybe it would've been faster if there were geese on the road.

Hi!!! :-)

Whenever I spend a lot of time on a treadmill and then run outside it seems only significantly harder in the winter. For me, because I have asthma, it is likely the temp and bad air. It doesn't seem to have near the effect in the other seasons. Plus you've been fighting a cold and/or kidney stones, right?

Have a great week!! :-)
