Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 41 deg, RAIN/WIND

Comments:
Just AWFUL weather today: it could be worse, but not by much. Just a shade above freezing with a fairly steady rain and steady 10-15mph wind. EEK.

Because of the 1500 this Friday, I did the tempo today at CGHS. And I wore my flats, in order to get more wear-time in a lower heel. Jogged the usual over to the HS, did 4x75m strides, then went after it.

The worst of the rain/wind ocurred during the tempo, of course. Pretty hard wind on the back stretch. Legs were NUMB. Focused on a good glut pull with a straight leg, w/decreased "bounce". Did not look at splits to the end:

5:42
5:45
5:28

The first two miles weren't hard at all, and the 3rd I opened it up a bit in the last two laps. Pretty easy overall -- that last mile felt GREAT!....numbing rain and driving winds, notwithstanding.

Jogged back to work, changed shoes, then tacked on another 5-6. FREEZING. SUCKED.
