Notes

The weather wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. Sure, it was windy and snowy but the temperature wasn't too bad and that made a big difference. There was a pretty decent size group at the start of the run and we headed out towards four lakes. A few guys had already done about an hour so they turned back after a few miles. As we kept on heading out more people were turning back. From about 45 minutes onward it just Tim, Spain and myself. We continued through four lakes and into Lisle, down 59th St and then turned around and retraced our steps. Tim finished when we got back to NCC while Spain and I finished with Jesus. Overall a great run that I felt pretty good for. Because of the snow the pace was pretty tame the whole time but it was still a good workout. Feels good to be getting some real training it. It also felt good to take a 30 minute shower.

Had The Kinks song "Have a Cuppa Tea" in my head for a lot of the run. Link to a video is provided.
