About 40 degrees. Wore my new brooks ghost shoes for the first time on the road. They felt OK but my feet got a little warm even though it was cold outside. Still have some breaking in to do. Had to chase a woodpecker off our roof this a.m. - saw a few rabbits and 3 deer during my run.
Cold and a little windy- Felt good after the speed work yesterday though. Usually this is the day I dread but today was fine. I will attribute part of it to an article that I read on runnersworld that said after speedwork and before your cool down take in some 4/1 carb/protein mix. So that's what I did and it helped me recover better. (unless of course it's all in my head)
Felt so good today that my pace overall was 8:41. Avg. HR nice and low at 139 Even tackled a few hills on the run. Next run Saturday: 20 miles with pace goal between 8:40-8:45.
