Notes

Probably the last run on these shoes - a few tweaks of knee stiffness at end. I bought new shoes yesterday but dont like to start out with a long run in them.

Anyway, just over 14 miles (14.14) in just under 2 hours (1:57:56). AGain, wore Nike+ to gauge pace, but knowing that it is a bit miscalibrated and not seeing any time soon that I can calibrate it without having a track to run on (too much snow) I mentally adjusted my pace so that the NIke+ read a bit higher than I wanted to run.

Went out first half averaging 8:40s, finishing second half averaging around 8:00s. It was really really cold today - probably negative ten degrees when the wind hit. I ran fully geared up including a face mask which I find makes it a bit hard to breathe. I took it off for most of the second half and that helped me hold the pace a little easier.

I also could feel some dehydration setting in towards mile 12ish. I kind of knew I hadnt drank enough water yesterday as I started off today. My left calf is pretty tight and my right hamstring too, but after I rest a bit I will stretch them out and they should be fine.
