Went out the door for 12.1 miles, cold going out with tailwind, damn cold coming back, full mask helped. 1:28:03.
Only had one mile under 7:00 pace and a couple in the 7:30 range. Between the slick roads, the many layers I had on, and the wind, today was a make sure I'm not a pu*sy day. I just put one foot in front of the other until I was about 6 miles out, then I was screwed and had to run back.
Honestly, I think it's smarter to get some treadmill running in on a day like this, but I took the last 5 years off and was kind of interested to see if I had developed weenie syndrome. Nope, just dumb. Plus the last few weeks have sucked and at some point you just have to get ourside. Although I'm sure I just burned fat at the pace I was going today and did little to boost my fitness, but probably not too many dumb asses out running today, so that's got to be some bonus tough points.
