Ok first day back after my Sunday day of rest. Felt good to get back out pounding the pavement. Although I could feel the tightness in my legs for most of the run. I split my 6 miles up today, 3 miles in the morning...woke up late :-( and 3 miles at the gym during lunch. The weather has started to act normal as it has began to actually get cold.. imagine that in December? When I have my gloves on, skull cap and enough layers the temperature does not bother me, although I do feel like a penguin or something waddling!! I am NOT complaining however, I have read some other blogs and up north they are running in snow... so we are no where near that! :-)
The morning run was ok but the lunch run felt great. About what I expected after taking a day off!
