| | This afternoon was overcast and a bit windy so that the 29*F air temperature generated a 20*F windchill. When I had to turn my face to the north and run straight into the wind my pace and my commitment to run suffered mightily. As the late afternoon turned over to darkness my face started wondering what it could have done that I should punish it so by running in the cold.
This is the first day of a cutback week on the schedule. I'm only planning for 15 miles this week.

Some days I can run a few miles, get warmed up and eventually find a groove where my mind is not preoccupied with the complaints coming from my body about running. Today was NOT one of those days as I struggled for every step. It seemed like my pace was too slow, the distance too long, the wind too cold, etc. When an excuse finally presented itself I cut my workout short of the 5 mile goal, gladly.

I will probably not get in the rest of my 15 mile week until Friday or Saturday as they are predicting some painfully cold temperatures for the next few days. Maybe I will break down and visit *gasp* the YMCA.
