Ok, this cold weather has got to go. Clear and sunny (small blessing!) and -25C windchill this morning. Am I obsessed with windchill temperatures? Do I always lead my post with the bad news? I wonder if I will do the same in the spring or summer. Probably only when it's 42C on the humidex. heheheh
Stretched my legs for 6k this morning, in advance of the Chilly Half tomorrow. I don't know what it was, but I couldn't stay under my zone target for the life of me. I think wearing the balaclava to keep my face/cheeks warm had me working alot harder than I imagined. Not sure what I'll do at post time tomorrow, but I don't want to be huffing and puffing that badly for 21k!
I did my packing for the race already this afternoon. We're out visiting friends this evening, and I don't want to be searching for stuff in the dark tomorrow morning. Pick-up time is 7:30am, so I'll have to be out of the house by about 7:15 to walk down to the Running Room.
Wish me luck!
