With a grant writing meeting that's anticipated to run long after work this afternoon along with more snow and freezing rain, an early morning run only made sense. Headed out at around 4:45am while it was just one degree out. Cold out there, but I was actually overdressed. Could have done without the fleece jacket under the Gore
tex shell, but not a big deal. Felt good out there. Fun to run in the middle of the street on the back roads, just because I can.
Snapped a quick self-portrait with my camera phone before I headed out. Tell me... does this picture make me look fat?
Ran 5.0 miles @ 7:47/mile pace.
AHR/
MHR - 149/169
Paved roads with patches of iced slush.
Slightly hilly.
One degree, clear skies.
Long pants,
Goretex shell, fleece jacket, long sleeved tech shirt, short sleeved tech shirt, reflective vest, balaclava, beanie, mittens (I felt like
Ralphie's little brother from "A Christmas Story").
