Brrr...

Todays Route: We started on Tamarack (across from Texas Gas) and run down to Frederica, then down Frederica to Griffith and back.
Distance: 3.9 miles

It was a cold morning, I think somewhere around 30 degrees. I wore too many layers and had to end up shedding some within the first mile. I had on my under armor shorts and some long pants over them. Then I had on a long sleeved shirt made of the wicking material, and a hoodie on top of that. Then I had on gloves and a head band to keep my ears warm. I had to take the hoodie off pretty soon after starting and ended up tying it around my waist. Then about the last half-mile, I had to take my gloves off.

It was a pretty good run. I kept up most of the way, but when we got to Walnut Memorial on the way home, I slowed down a bit. Considering I hadn’t run since Wednesday of last week, I think I did well. I’m glad I got to go this morning. I’ve been dying to see how the cold weather affects me. I kinda like being all bundled up and running. My skin was all red and cold when I got home. A hot shower took care of that. It was a good run!
