Weather - 11 degrees, cloudy, windy. Not as pleasant as yesterday, but wore layers and managed to stay warm on my run. Last year in similar conditions I ran at the arboretum, which offers no wind cover, and froze my groin (euphemism). This year I planned better and decided to run loops at Busey Woods. However, around mile 5 my groin froze. My legs felt pretty good, a little stiff and fatigued, but nothing to prevent me from running easy. I even managed 800m at 7:30 pace in the middle of the run. After the run I did 3 sets of strength exercises and stretching. My eskimo mittens were able to grip the pull-up bar, so weather should not prevent me from doing these this winter. #395 Digital picture of my bedroom window this afternoon :
