5 miles in very cold conditions today, single digit temps with windchills around -10 below. I noticed that the cold makes me run faster cuz my face usually starts hurting from the windburn so I pick up the pace, not a bad problem to have haha. Splits:

1- 7:28.0

2- 7:22.2

3- 7:12.8 (22:03, 7:21 avg)

A good run for cold cold cold conditions.

I think it was even colder today than it was yesterday. Therefore, I put off my fartlek speed session til tomorrow where it should be in the mid 20s! Today it was low single digits with windchills around -10 below. 5 miles easy. Splits:

1- 7:10.0

2- 7:08.1

3- 7:17.4 (21:35, 7:12 avg)

4- 7:12.1

5- 6:58.2

TOTAL-- 35:45, 7:09 avg pace

Overall, ended the run strong and felt pretty good despite the cold. Now the real question is whether to race the 2 mile or 4 mile this weekend at the jingle jam im going to run in.

Fartlek today. Just ran my 5 mile route. Started with 4 min of warmup, then went 3, 2, 1 on with 1 min off in between. Did 2 sets with 2 min set breaks. Did an extra 3 on before taking around 7-8 min to cool down at the end.  I just estimated the easy vs threshold miles. Figured I'd keep with the idea of an effort workout since that seems to be doable in the cold and snow.

4 mile race today. It was very cold, around 20 at the start, but what made it cold was the windchill in the single digits. Froze my face off. Kept a really steady pace though and ended up 4th overall. Would have won the 2 mile, but didnt know that beforehand obviously.

Splits--

1- 5:46

2- 6:00

3- 5:59.9

4- 5:55

TOTAL--23:41, 5:55 pace. Overall, a good race. Kept very even pace. I knew I had lost speed, but it was nice to see I still maintained overall fitness. Really was just a fast tempo run, but managed to use that to get 4th in a race. Fun stuff. No other races this year as I wrap up my 2009 season. Will prolly give a general rundown and reflect on the year at a later post. Probably will get out a few times for some casual runs, but wont start training again til mid-January.
