Went for a 7 mile run this morning. It was 34 degrees and snowing calmly it was really nice. I even wore shorts. Everything felt quite recovered after the marathon. I could still feel something slight in my calves and hamstring. I wouldn't call it pain but just a slight reminder of what they did a week ago. I guess winter is about here. I was suprised how much higher my HR was on this mornings run. I don't know if it's because I pretty much took this week off from running and cycling or that I am still recovering from the marathon.

8:28 pace

Yesterday morning it was 19 degrees and I had to kick on the furnace for the first time this year.

I nice calm run in the falling snow sounds very nice. I'm just glad I don't have to endure the upcoming winter that you guys get in the coming days and weeks.
