The cold temperatures continue.  It was -1 degrees when I headed out the door this morning.  On top of this, I have a cold that is threatening to move to my chest.  It probably wasn't the best idea to be outside running today.  Felt completely wiped out after 2 miles so I thought I would cut the run short at 5 miles.  At the 5 mile turn off, I decided that I felt good enough to get 1 more mile in.  Got to the 6 mile turn off and figured that I may as well make it 7.  I could see the 8 mile turn around so I ended up doing the full run.  The last 3 miles were pretty slow.  Mile 6 was run mostly on ice and my chest started to feel heavy during miles 7 and 8.  Hopefully, this won't make my cold any worse.

Total Time: 1:02:20 (7:48/mile)

I think when it gets really cold, if you are properly dressed, being outside actually cures illness.

I agree to some extent. If I go out when not feeling well, I generally feel better afterwards. Must be something your body does (endorphins?).

I know I would have tanked the run, but then I'm a weenie about running in the cold and not feeling well.

Ultrarunner's saying. "That what doesn't kill you only makes you hungry". Another one, "that what doens't kill you only cripples you".
