Notes
Pretty crappy run to roll in the new year. Started out a little hung over from the new years celebration but otherwise things were going well. Once up by warner park the wind and cold really got to me. The temp was about 10F with 20 mph winds. I think I was almost frozen in place. Later on I managed to get lost on my route so I turned around only to realize 2 minutes later that I actually had been going the right way and was never lost in the first place. Then after about an hour into my run I looked down at my watch and saw 9 min! Definitely stopped my watch at a stop light earlier on and never restarted it. I put in 7 minute/mile pace but I am pretty sure that I was cruising along faster than that having all clear trails and roads for the first time in a while. Last mile of my run I think my whole body went numb and I just wanted to be done. When I got home I didn't quite feel right just from being so cold.
On the bright side I have now run virtually every part of the Madison Marathon Course.
