Tomorrow morning's low is supposed to be 8 degrees, so that motivated me to run this evening when it was 23. Turns out, tonight's run felt good.
One lady in her driveway called me "brave," but I volleyed, "It's not bad once you get moving." Tomorrow morning would have been brave. One recent investment, a pair of running gloves, have helped matters a great deal the last few weeks. My other gloves "leaked" and just didn't do the trick. That was a smart 15 dollars.
I'm glad tonight's five-miler went well. I needed it. I've felt lethargic since Saturday's dud, and work stress built up this week. A four-mile jog yesterday morning felt wrong, so I've been a little short during some conversations.
Yesterday, I dragged my sorry behind at a 10-minute pace, but today was better - about a 9:00/mile pace. I'll tack on one more moderate run before my long run on Saturday.
By the way, Chuck Hendry is more than halfway to his LLS fundraising goal.

It was 9 degrees at my house this morning so I postponed my run. Jim, you were wise to run last night.
Even though you do warm up in a few minutes, it's rough going to start, especially when it's windy. I actually wear 2 pairs of gloves, a lightweight pair of running gloves and an outer shell that I wear cross-country skiing. I hate having numb fingers
Here's to warmer weather and more good runs!
