What a cold day. When I headed out this morning it didn't feel to bad, but as I hit my 5 mile mark down in the river bottoms I thought I was going to freeze to death!!!  I headed back and came by GU corner and my hands were just froze, my pace was pretty slow at this point and I was just trying to keep moving... The last 2 miles I was just having a real hard time, I think I didn't hydrate well enough the day before and it was showing as the run went on my legs were wacked out. The tights I was wairing were not keeping my legs warm enough, I need to invest in some real cold weather tights, I think it would of made a difference on my legs. My average pace was 9:13 and an average heart rate at 138 total time was 1:34:35, I wanted to get in 12 miles today but it wasn't going to happen, I was lucky to get in the 10 miles. I was also having stomach issues towards the end of the run, and lets just say I barely made home in time if you know what I mean,  it was brutal!!!

See you Monday.

Clay, Glad you made it home in time! And I'm glad there is someone else out there to verify how dang miserable cold it was in the riverbottoms this morning!

All I can say is Amen Kim, it was brutal on Saturday...
