It was cold. 9 degrees is bitter cold so I threw on another layer and gave it a try and to my surprise it was quite comfortable. Tomorrow I will start running in the mourning so it might be a little different. My first mile split I took it pretty easy (8:21) my second mile split was (8:22). The 3rd mile split I did a tempo run (8:05) and then the 4th mile split was a little recovery run at (8:18). The 5th mile split was at a pace that felt comfortable (8:22) and then my last mile to round out the 6 miles was (8:10) total time was 49:53.
All in all I felt okay. The cold didn't seem to hold me back other tahn the extra layer felt a little heavy and so I felt more winded at times but that could of been the cold. I will do my standard 35 minute upper body weight training to round out the day and finish my workout
We will see how it goes tomorrow in the real bitter cold hopefully it will start to warm up this next week.
