Easy run on the grass

Very cold today, too cold. 8° with wind-chill. Also very windy. According to our AI overlords 10° makes you run about 27 seconds slower per mile. Averaged 5:57 on the 5 mile tempo and that makes me feel a little better about having to take a second to loosen up and relax and recover after mile 3. Couldn't get into a good smooth rhythm at all today, just a continuous fight against the elements. Not really even my legs or lungs, just my whole body felt tight and seized up the whole run.

Another run in the cold. Good I'm getting better at forcing myself to go run when it's like this outside or I just don't feel like it or it's dark and feels too late... just a couple more weeks of February.

Also Monday's post was actually Tuesday's run. On Monday we met up with my parents at the natural History museum for their state legislature and families night. Whitney loves dinosaurs so she had a lot of fun. We also went to the same kind of thing for the draper aquarium a couple weeks ago, I gotta say the aquarium had much better catering- but both were highly enjoyable.

Little under 3 with Whitney and the rest on my own. Very snowy today, new levels of respect for Whitneys chariot- that thing is amazing.

Short shake out. Hate these conditions.

Ran with Jake. Started with an uphill mile and 2 of the first 5 miles were through like 10 inches of snow. Hopefully it clears up soon.
