I forgot to wash my cold weather gear from my run last Friday, so I had to improvise last night for a quick 4 mile run. I wore some soccer socks that came up to my knees and some shorts along with a couple of long sleeve shirts. I topped it off with my gloves and a balaclava to keep my head and neck warm. Of course I also wore the reflective suspenders and even discovered that I could carry my phone in the pocket. It worked out nicely. I'm almost done with my book. I'm looking forward to listening to "Born to Run." My dad and a buddy of mine have both recommended it and I've been looking forward to reading/listening to it for a while.
I tried to really push myself last night, but the cold made it hard to breathe after the first hundred meters or so. I normally use my first run of the week as more of a recovery run, but I still wanted to stay around 10 minute miles. I ran the first mile in 9 minutes 25 seconds, then walked for a minute and ran the last 3 miles in about 29 minutes. It felt good to run, but my legs were on fire when I got back. It weird how the cold can burn like that.
