Today's run started at 31F and only got up to 35F by the time I was done, so the warm weather gear worked better this time. One thing I noticed on my jacket today is that the inside of my elbows sweat! Weird. Also, I realized that as the weather gets colder, I might want to drink my coffee at the cafe and then jog back. Walking really requires an extra layer, particularly after a sweaty run. My body temp just gets too low when walking and I get cold.
It was a beautiful day. I got a late start because my daughter woke up early and I didn't want her being the only one awake, letting her roam around the house getting into stuff isn't a good idea. Since it was light out when I got out, I got to run on the paths. I enjoy that.
There were a few times when I wanted to stop, but I didn't. For the steep hills, I put myself in efficient mode, kind of like what I do when I do a kick at the end of a run. I think that leaves me with a lot more breath at the top of the hill and a lower heart rate.
I ran for 5.56miles at an average of 11:13 pace. Then, I walked 0.84 miles.
