Notes
Ran 12 miles in 1:52:04.88 (9:20.4 min./mi.) Ran 6 laps of the First Day of Winter Half/Full/50k. Uncertain of the course, I believe that I shorted the first couple of laps. For a trail run, the course is very navigable with just two slight inclines, and no real hazards to be concern with. Today’s 43 degrees should have made for great running, but the 10 to 25 mph winds made things very tough especially when facing the wind. Not to mention, I have not run in colder conditions since early Spring; I was definitely not ready for the chill. This is something I will need to get adjusted to quickly; my legs did not respond well today to the drastic temperature change. It is my hope to run this course another six to eight times (maybe more) before race day.
I will be doing treadmill run later today.
