Following another great night of sleep, I headed out the door shortly after seven o’clock this Sunday morning. In short, boy was it cold outside! It took me quite a few miles just to begin to warm-up a little bit. The morning breeze that persisted throughout my run prevented me from really ever getting warmed up. Anyways, I ran down to Liberty Park by way of 900 East. Once at the park, I was forced to dump my water because it was too cold to drink. As a result, I immediately headed back home. The total distance of this chilly run was 11.6 miles at an easy pace. By the way, my metronome held up to the cold weather. I set it and kept it at 83 strides per minute and trying to keep up with the rhythmic beeping sort of helped me distract my mind from the frigid conditions.
I mainly saved my non-running workout for game #6 of the ACLS between the Angels and the Yankees (the Yankees ended winning 5-2) in which I completed 200 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
