Medium-long run. 5:13 am, 26°F, 40% humidity, wind 7 SSE. I'm cold. I just finished my run and I've put on dry clothes, but I'm still freezing. I felt cold during my run, but not terribly so. However, my face was pretty cold whenever I was going into the wind, which was a lot of the time. I'd like to take a hot shower now, but I think my son just used all of the hot water.
Like yesterday, I did some dynamic stretching before my run and then focused on the "pounding the ground" proprioceptive cue during the run. I was going to try to do core conditioning after my runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I think I'm going to have to do it on Wednesdays and Fridays instead because the Tuesday runs are just too long so I don't have time. I ran the loop that takes me past my office, with some modifications to make it longer. Miles 6-9 where a steady uphill and into the wind (for Michelle - that section was up Highlands Ranch Parkway from Broadway to University), but I managed to push up the hills with a decent pace. AP: 9:10. Splits: 9:28, 9:16, 9:10, 9:18, 9:14, 9:33, 9:12, 9:03, 9:00, 8:35, 8:58, 0.13 @ 8:52.
