Notes

COMMENTS: Horrible weather. It was a light drizzle and I didn't think I would get too wet but after a hour and a half I was pretty wet. My gloves were starting to soak through and make my hands cold. I wore my usual shorts, a long sleeve t-shirt and another t-shirt on top. I kept my gloves on the whole time just to keep my hands dry. The breeze would blow the mist in your face which wasn't very comfortable. Wished I had found a toboggan to keep my head dry. Parked in the apartments off Gaston Day which keeps me from having to cross the street to get started. Got tired of the GPS trying to find itself so I set off. At about half mile I checked my time and the battery had gone flat so I have no idea what my time was. I felt good the whole run and I'm sure it was better than a 10 min pace. At mile 1 my Achilles tendon on the right leg felt tight. I figured it was just the cold and I didn't stretch before I started. It was better about mile 3 once I had warmed up. By the half point I was feeling fine and was running relaxed. Came off the Greenway feeling good and just kept the pace to the last mile and sped up a little. It felt good running in the cold. Had half a gel going on the Greenway and getting off the Greenway.
