Started running at -2 degrees felt like a heat wave compared to the -7 degrees yesterday. The last mile the wind picked up to 10mph (according to the weather when I got home), and was blowing in my face. That was really the only coldness I felt on my face during the run. I ran 9.5 miles at a 6:46 pace in 1:04. My mustache and eyelashes still were frozen during and after the run, but really today wasn't bad.
Tomorrow the temperature I believe is suppose to be above zero in the morning. I wore the same apparel that I wore yesterday to stayed layered and protected. There was really no ice on the road so I could move at a decent pace. I won't be able to run on my lunch hour so maybe I'll be able to do some tonight at the gym, or just lift weights with my lovely wife. I have meetings at work that's really occupying my time and life right now. Evening Ran 3.2 miles at a 6:55 minute pace on my home treadmill, then we wen to the gym and I ran another 1.5 miles. I did the first .5 in high 5 minute pace and did the last .5 in 5:00 pace and the mile average was 5:40. Then at the gym I rotated on the weight machines with my wife. We did strength training on the Quads, Calves, Hamstrings, and Abs. Very good workout. I'm going to be sore for my long run tomorrow if I decide to do it tomorrow morning.
