Goal: Run at least a mile and add enough walking to get 3.1 miles total
Achieved: 5 minutes walk, 15 minutes running, walking remainder of my time
Time: 56'08" Distance: 4.16 mi Avg Pace: 13'29"/mi
Apparently I needed some quality time in the refrigerator that is Chesapeake, Virginia because I just could not stop myself at 3.1 miles. Instead I got crazy and picked up the pace after my jog to the point where I was walking at a 14'15"/mi pace at the end of the workout. While I'm not sure exactly how far I jogged I maintained a sub 11'00'/mi pace throughout the 15 minutes so that would put in the neighborhood of 1.36 miles. Definitely a decent distance for my off day.
On the weird misery note, an hour or so after I ran as I sat in a restaurant having dinner, I was struck by how cold my hands felt. Looking at my hands, my fingers were that yellow/white color that comes on when they get very cold, were a bit tingly and stiff. I was clearly in a warm place indoors with my coat off but my fingers seemed to believe otherwise. I don't know if that was some delayed reaction to the chilly temps during my run or what. It took me about 15 minutes to get color back into my fingers. WEATHER
