Holy Crap. That was freaking cold. It is probably better I didn't know it was so cold til I was already up and dressed or I probably would have went back to bed. I will have to post a picture of myself after the run. I was a human popsicle. It was so cold that even when the wind was at our backs it was cold. Running into the wind was almost impossible. Had to run with my head down or to the side. My right knee felt bad on the hills but not as bad as sometimes. My splits were a little slower than I would like but it was cold and I did put a fast interval in the middle just to see if I had it in me... no problem. Man I love running. I feel great and had plenty of gas in the tank to go further. I am looking forward to a 15 miler this weekend. It will be my longest run ever. But I guess I should focus on the two more 6's I have left this week. Hopefully it will be a little warmer, or at least less windy. Justin was right there with me today and that gave me the motivation I needed to get through the painful cold. Good work J.
