Went out for 5 around 5, had been snowing all day, but wet snow so probaly 3 ". Too much fun to stop, so kept running to City Isand where I proceeded to run 20 400m interval on the snow covered metal grate bridge ... which is 400 m long. Finished with a couple loops aound the island before heading home. 15 miles, new long run in this cycle .. and it is a good thing beacuse it is going to be 10 degrees this weekend!
So, a teammate from my U14 soccer team saw a post I made on the Capital City 10 miler site, reached out & we met up for a run along the river & ate lunch at Dukes. Wind was brutal and numbing on our face, so we immediately headed for the alleyways to Italian Lake A solid 3 mile tempo run at a 8:00 min pace into the wind, we headed back on the river with the wind at our backs. So great to reconnect with a friend from 35 years ago ... the plan is to train together on Thursdays.
