It was really cold this morning. Our car thermometers had a couple of different readings but they ranged from 1 degree Fahrenheit to 9 degrees Fahrenheit. In any case, it was in the single digits at 7:30 this morning and we had to run eight miles. With three different pants, a cold weather running shirt, a sweat shirt, a jacket, a fleece gator and gloves, I was all set. Sure, I felt a little bit like the little brother, Randy, from "A Christmas Story," when he's so bundled up he can't stand up, but at least I kept warm.
With two quick stops in a country club parking lot for water and a lap around the middle school parking lot to squeeze out the mileage, we finished all eight miles. Since I was the only non-coach/mentor who showed up, I was named "Most Dedicated Runner" (unofficially of course).
Next week will mark my longest training run at 9 miles. Hopefully the thermostat will be a little more forgiving.
