Beastly Weather

04Jan15
1:00pm

I know that I'm supposed to get more mileage in on the weekend, but conditions were negative today.  As a result I deferred to the standard course #1.  Boosted by my Samsung Technology, here we go:

Distance:    3.65 miles
Course:    The Loop
Conditions:    1-2 inches wet snow or firm slush, liquid puddles
Temperature:    32F

Calories Burned:  559
Max Pace:    8'30"/ mi
Ascent:    1.30 mi
Descent:    1.04 mi

Finish Weight:    193lbs on the liar scale.

The overall run was good, but I argued myself down from attempting the same five miler as yesterday.  Today was thick wet snow, making the effort more difficult, and there was a stiff wind coming straight out of the West, which was unusual, but would have stymied me on the return had I gone for the extra.  And, I have to admit I am concerned about my hamstring.  I did quite a few stretches at traffic lights, with some positive effects.
