This morning I ran 2.1 miles at -4 degrees at a 6:47 pace. I could only run 2 miles, because I got a call from work about a system problem and had to make my run real short.
This is the coldest dat I've ever ran in, and my hands wouldn't have been able to run any longer than the 2 miles I did. They were completely frozen even with my cold gear Under Armour gloves on. But the wind chill was also -14 degrees and it was blowing at 10mph.
Right now the temperature is -1. I plan to run on my lunch hour will see how that goes.
On my lunch hour today I ran 9.1 miles at a 6:34 pace in 59.34 minutes. The temperature warmed up to 6 degrees so I was excited about that, but there was still a wind chill factor. I had two pairs of gloves on, my underamour cold gear pants and shirt, plus a racing jacket, and my ski mask. I don't think I'm going to be able to run tomorrow morning for my long run outside. I'll have to go to the gym and be put through torture with a boring treadmill. At 7am tomorrow the temperature is suppose to be -6 degrees.
