Notes
"Feels like" 10 for contest. Christmas-card snow today, big flakes, almost like a snowglobe tilted on its side since the wind was blowing it horizontally. Not so wonderful when it was full-on in my face! Wind felt quite a bit colder today for some reason.
Wore: BR tights over compression shorts, Helly Hansen top, Celestial jacket, yellow BR knit cap, white gloves. Okay while running, but feel cold now. Wonder if it isn't time to switch back to Hincapie jacket...
Wasn't sure if I wanted to do 3 or 4 miles today, figured I would wait until Pikisaari to decide--left side for 3 miles, right side and over to library for 4. Right side of P. was just too tempting. It has 3 or 4 little roller-coaster hills, which are terrible for low HR training but appeal to the trail runner in me. I've done okay lately keeping HR in control, but today it started out a little high (identifiable stress, didn't sleep well last night). 132 average is decent, though, especially in the snowy conditions.
