Last night I sucked it up and headed outside for my evening run. It was single digits and really freaking cold. I wanted to press that pace a bit, like I said I yesterday I wanted to mix things up a bit and like many folks have said before, in order to run faster you have to run faster.
I headed out the door and immediately started questioning my sanity as the cold hit my face. I really couldn't help but push it as I wanted the sweat to start as I thought that would help the cold. The run was fun, a bit faster than usual and all not that cold once you got a couple of miles in. I ended up running almost 5 miles averaging a 7:16 pace. I am signing up for a 5 mile run on the 14th of Feb and my goal is to run the entire race at a sub 7 pace, weather may play a factor but that is the plan right now.
Today is a 25 minute run and I will probably get back on the treadmill as I need to go get a bit warmer gloves. I also picked up a pair of smart wool running socks which are awesome but may need to get a couple more pairs.
