Today was the first cold run of the season for me. I can't say it was frosty, but it was 45 when I went out with a windchill of 39. It was chilly enough for sleeves and a hat, to me.
It felt great. It took about half a mile to warm up and a bit more for my fingers. My nose was chilled and probably red and I was just comfortably sweaty under my hat and my sleeves.
Cool weather runs are the best when I dress the right way. It's hard to gauge because it's always going to be uncomfortable for the first at least half mile. When I do it right, though, I have a cold nose and face and the rest of me is comfortable. It's a nice feeling.
I ran 6. The MidSouth Marathon is in Wynne next Saturday--marathon number 7. I feel undertrained even though I've made all of my long runs. Weekdays have been really challenging for me.
