20 degrees--even colder with the windchill. 11:26 AP.

I drove to another town to meet my friend. She isn't marathon training. So she ran the last 6 with me. I was faster for the first 6! What the heck! And I didn't feel like I was pushing it. I felt like I was holding back a lot so I wouldn't poop out with her!

During the first half I was hot! So when I got to my car I took off the merino and put on a tshirt over my other shirt. Then I was cold. I couldn't win!

There is a lot of snow on the ground. A super duper citizen drove past us and sprayed us with slush. I was cold after that and so were my feet. Despite my way cool socks.

here are my splits

10:48, 11:13, 11:03, 11:05, 10:56, 11:36, 11:13, 11:44, 11:13, 10:59, 13:17 (I have no clue what happened here), 12:05, 12:26

I know the last 2 miles she kept having us go around in circles and a lot of it is in town where there are cars and stop lights so lots of stopping and waiting. Not a fan of the asthetics of this run.

My lower back hurts now.

12 miles! sweet!

maybe you're running faster because you've been running more consistently.

Great job! You're tougher than me today. I opted to run inside at the Y. Snow is fun, slush sucks!
