30 is the new 50...in degrees!
Greetings,
Up here in ND today, temps were in the 30's for a change. After facing bone-chilling wind chills from December through February, we have been patiently waiting for some above-freezing temps. I always tend to say that after a few months of sub-zero weather and wind chill factors, when it hits 30, it feels like 50. Perfect day for my first outdoor run of 2010!
I decided for an out & back run on the roads, since its the only thing that is clear right now. I went in the following format:
4 minutes easy
4 minutes Tabata rounds
Turn around
4 minutes easy
4 minutes Tabata rounds
I had one block left to cover, and I was ready for a cool-down walk back home.
This felt pretty hard today, as the body is still a bit sore from the Kettlebell protocol workout I did on Saturday. Plus, its my first outdoor run in months, with most of my running being on the treadmill over the winter. I would venture to say I covered about 2 & a 1/4 miles in this 16 minute run. I went mainly in a straight line, from the 4-way stop out to the cemetery, which is 1 mile. Add in the jogging of 2 blocks worth before I hit the 4-way stop, and jogging it back, it's roughly 1/4 mile of distance. Considering I've been getting 2 miles in about less than 14 minutes, and a 1/4 mile jog for me is about 2 minutes, that's how I get to a 2 & 1/4 miles estimate for today.
All in all, a pretty nice run outside. Just need to get used to the cold air. It may feel like 50 out, but the air temp is still in the 30's on the lungs!
Run Strong, Run Fast...
Run So As To Win!
