3.09 miles in 28'39"

the walk to school with my wife was a bit brisk this morning. i was wearing tights and a long sleeved jersey, a jacket, my skull cap and gloves and i still felt a bit cold. i imagine it was worse for her since she hates the cold.

this is the first cold weather run i've done since high school, so i wasn't sure how to dress. i was hoping i hadn't overdone it since i hate being hot while i'm working out. i think i did okay this time, though i had to unzip my jacket and jersey a bit toward the end of the run.

i didn't really have a goal this morning, so i just ran how i felt. i didn't feel all that fast, so that meant recovery pace. i suppose that was the kind of run i needed after saturday's suffering with ryan, marshall and the others.

i circled around town, stopping once to make sure i could see the highway traffic before crossing. the sun was blinding me and i didn't want to be hit. i also walked about a half block on lucky lane trying to get my mp3 player to quit skipping. not sure why it was acting so funky. a little fiddling around cleared things up and i ran the rest of the way home.
