Easy morning run to 1st Dam and back, via canal trail. I got snowed on the whole run. I thought that I would feel better today, but my legs felt like I had 20lb. ankle weights on them. I got snowed on pretty hard the whole run. 6 miles. 45:54
I ran again just before noon. This time I went on my Milleville out and back run. The snow was just stopping but the wind was blowing pretty good from the South, but at least I got a tail wind coming home. I felt much better than I had 4 hours before, but still not that great. I went out with the plan of doing some 2:30 and 3:30 fartleks, if my body could handle it. I warmed up for 5k and started my first speed-change, uphill and into the wind. I forgot that the timer on my watch was all meesed up and by the time the 3:30 beaped I had gone 9/10s of a mile. I cooled for 3:30 real minutes and went again, this time by my crono. On the way back I decided that my original plan wasn't working very well so I did two mile speed changes with the TOU markings. My first one was mile 13 of the Half marathon, all downhill in Providence. I did that in 5:32. My second mile was mile 24 of the marathon, and it was 5:39. I cooled down the last 2.2 miles home. I was surprised I ran as well as I did in me speed-play ,because I felt so heavy the whole run, and the last two days.
