Slippery Slope

Today was my five mile pick up run and it pretty much sucked. I think my tights (not the saggy gray pair - a different better-fitting pair!) are not warm enough. My legs didn't get warm at all during this run making my "bursts of speed" tight and slow. There is a lot of ice on the sidewalks, so much of this was a cautionary run. Once I found a stretch of about .75 miles that was clear I basically ran back and forth on that the whole time.

Miles = 5.31
Pace = 9:06

Sucktastic. I am going to attribute the slowness to the conditions, but it could possibly have something to do with a wine/fondue hangover that I'm nursing. More on that later!

I think I'm going to try to run outside today - I took the day off yesterday.

Way to go with sticking with your running schedule.
