The plan was to run 12 miles with the 5k in the middle somewhere. I wanted to preview next weeks race. 39 degrees when I got up so I contemplated wearing shorts. Really glad that I didn't! I started snowing 3 miles in. Hard corn snow that is like hail. 2.9 mile warmup @9:07 pace 3.1 miles (5k) @ 7:16 pace HR max 178 avg . 166 after this run my glasses were totally fogged and soaked from snow hitting my glasses. stopped at a restroom to clear it off.
4 miles @ 9:17 pace Felt surprisingly good! I'm watching the snow come down as I type and am loving it. going to relax and play with Amanda(4 yr old) today. I'm ready for the official 5k next week now.
