about as cold of run as ive had in a while, temps were around 8 degrees with windchill between -5 and 0. at least the winds had calmed and it was sunny, apparently the wc was -15 overnight. i battled with myself over whether to do this run on the treadmill as i knew the windchill was going to be below 0, but i decided to tough it out and build some mental strength. 10.5 miles in the bitter cold..i felt surprisingly good throughout the run however, that was a nice sign. very bundled up, splits: 1- 6:49.1 2- 6:54.8 3- 7:04.2 4- 7:08.9 5- 7:15.5 uphill (35:12, 7:02 pace)
6- 6:55.6 downhill 7- 7:08.8 8- 7:12.2 9- 7:01.5 10- 7:17.9 big hill (1:10:48, 7:05 pace) last .5- 3:33 TOTAL-- 1:14:22, 7:05 avg pace overall, very happy with this run as i am getting my mileage up and i still felt good given the awful conditions to run in
