Hi, everyone, just got back from my run. Wow! Was it cold!! With the sun it was 34 degrees, don't know what it was once the sun went down. Once I was running, I really wasn't cold, in fact after about 20 minutes, I was quite warm. But once I stopped, I was freezing!! I had the heat on as high as it would go in the car for the 25 minute drive home and I still couldn't get warm. Now that I'm home, I have on 2 pairs of pants, a long sleeved shirt and sweat shirt with the thermostat set at 74, and I'm just now started to feel comfortable. All in all, it was a decent run, I did 42 minutes r4/w2 and I did 3.72 miles. I don't know my split times, I wasn't really paying attention to my Garmin. I do have a funny running story though, I run at work after everyone leaves at 5:00, everyone asks me why in the world do I run by myself, especially after dark. The lot at work backs up to a train yard and there is dense woods that separates Gold Medal from it--I hate that everyone acts worried, because I'm not crazy about running by myself and it doesn't give me much confidence to hear them question it as well. Anyway, I was running today on the part of the path that runs alongside of the parking lot. I hear someone calling my name and I see that it's one of the engineers at work. I stop and he says, "please tell me that you have mace", I said no, he said "a knife", and I said no. So he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his pocket knife gives it to me and says, "carry this with you, I'd feel much safer if you have it". So now I have a pocket knife.
Which is probably more dangerous because I have no clue how to use one. I guess I'm going to pick some mace or pepper spray this weekend.
Cam--I am so sorry about your loss. Know that we're thinking about you and praying for you.
Sorry to cut it short, Stephen just came home and he brought Chiptole--yum, yum!!!
Good luck training tomorrow and lr's on Saturday.
