Somehow I always manage to have at least one more layer than I need when dressing for runs in the cold. Better warm than cold I suppose.

Very cold, with snow on the ground and rain falling from the sky. Had considered attempting to run outdoors but when the rain came down I didn't want to risk hypothermia by running in wet clothing. So, onto the treadmill I went.

My shins have felt tender following Saturday's race so I have been trying to keep the pace a bit slower and the distances a bit shorter than required by the training schedule.
