AEROBIC BUILDER
Well this is the end of a crazy week for me. Yesterday I woke up with a really sore throat and this morning it was even worse. I contemplated texted Jon and telling him I wasn't going to make it. But, I figured I'd give it a try and if it hurt too bad breathing in the cold air, I would just call it early.
I met Jon and Bryant at Smith and Edwards at 8. Luckily, once again the roads out west were suitable for running fast and not slick or ice-covered. Jon is coming off of being sick as is Bryant and I am sick so we kind of said hey let's start the builder at 6:00 pace and go from there. The first few miles felt hard and my body felt fatigued. Once we got going I felt stronger and in the end I averaged 5:46 pace for 13 miles. But, they weren't consistent at all. We were in the 5:55-6:00 range for first 4-5 miles and I was pretty fast my last two miles.
At the end of the run, Bryant looked like an old man with his frost-covered hair. Jon checked his phone and it was 2 degrees when we finished. Brrr. |
