Had to do the unthinkable this morning. Woke up to about 6 inches of snow at my house and no plows in sight. I have a lot of obligations today so the run couldn't wait, put the 4 wheel drive on and headed to the gym.
Had the gym all to myself and ran 18 on the treadmill. That has to be a record as I don't see how anyone can stand to be on one any longer than that. Put the office in the dvd player and away I went. First 9 miles @ 8:00 pace, then 3 @ 7:53, then 3 @ 7:49, then 2 @ 7:30, with the last mile close to marathon pace 7:08. AP for the run 7:51
Got home and took the pup on for a jog through the fields with my snow boots on for another 1 mile. Overall I can't complain, got my longest run of the year in and my legs came out of it in ok shape (so far.) |
