Road Run 55:45 [2]
ahr:162 max:174 shoes: Asics GT-2100 (2005)
Another nice easy run around the Hungry Hollow. Again I just looked for hills to climb and then looped back around to do them again. I finished with the same loop through the Birds which also has a good set of hills. Just out of curiousity I timed the Birds section since I think I will incorporate it into most of my long runs around here, and I ran it in 16:39. I think that that was a bit faster than last night which was probably closer to 20 minutes. I was raining and extremely windy tonight, and I was so cold that I ran faster toward the end of the run just to stay warm. My hands were completely numb anyway and I tried shaking them while I was running to get the blood flowing, but they were so wet that the wind just cut through them.
Other than being absolutely freezing I felt great, although I am starting to develop a nice set of blisters on the insides of my feet. I'll have to be sure to tape them up for a while while I am exercising.
