Today was an okay day for my run. We met early at the RR for our 22K run and it was cold (-16 but felt like -23 with the wind) and there was wind. My toes were frozen at the beginning and stayed that way for the first 5K then I started to get some feeling back into them. My balaclava stayed up and over my nose pretty much for the whole run.
We started by running a 10K loop so we could get back to the store for a water and pee break before heading out again, usually the water freezes if we carry it and that is no help at all. The first 10K went well and seemed to have not taken so long. The second half I was getting tired and had a hard time lifting my legs, but I had to push myself through it, afterall this is one of our longest distances in a while because of the weather being quite crappy the last few Sundays. I think next time I should bring some gels with me again as that could have helped me, if not physically than maybe mentally. We only ended up doing 20Km, actually I did 20.1K and that .1 is nice to have and I will keep it in my books.
Next Sunday I will running the Richmond Road Race, a first for me but a nice 10K just down the road from where I am.
