8:37 pace
Maybe it's just me, but 45 degrees and no wind is PERFECT running weather. I could run like this forever. I wish I had four extra hours and a marathon to run today. The air is cool enough, but allows your lungs to use the oxygen it delivers. I love the solitude of winter running, but man it's hard to get a good breath in sub 25 weather. So, now I'm starting to look for other women who run the trail at the same time I do. I find my self calculating their speed and overall sturdiness. I start wondering if they are a 2-3 miler "I'm trying to keep my weight down even when I don't eat actual food" or a consistent (even in the dead of winter) 4-6 daily and 12-23 on Saturday’s "give me a freaking steak" kind of girl. Maybe I should wear a "Runner for Rent" sign advertising "easy 9 minute miles and able to go the distance." Pretty soon Catherine will come out of post-baby fog ready to rock-n-roll. But for the next few weeks, I may be blogging a lot about how I can't figure out how to use the Garmin. (Note for Sarah: At least that nagging little beep will keep me company!). |
