Jeez, what the heck? I was out - finally - for a run after the cold snap. Just too wussy to get out in that -45C wind chill, I guess. But man this was a hard run.
It was all packed snow, and not so bad for slipperiness. The Path Under The Stairs had a couple of spots at it's steepest that were a little dicey on the way down but for the most part it was pretty good running conditions.
But oh, so slow! No speed, and major pain in the shins. I was locking up, almost. I thought about stopping but figured I might just lock up permanently if I did. And heavy and slow. That's what it felt like. Every step was jarring and I just had no flow with it at all.
Is this what happened when you don't run for two weeks? It was tough!
Today's (actually yesterday's) run:
Distance: 5.56 Time: 37:10
Average speed: 6:41 min/km. (8.98 kph)
Shoes: New Balance 769.
Today's earworm: Sad and blue L n K.
Weather: Mostly cloudy and -8C

Hey, wondered what had happened to you these past several days. I understand about the cold. I've been reluctant to run even when it's a relatively balmy 27 degrees out!
