I must start this blog entry with a confession: I didn’t run outside this weekend. The wind and cold were too biting in Philadelphia to will me to complete my four miles outside. (The Garmin is still in his box, unused.)
On the upside, I drove into work to use the gym and it was wonderfully deserted! I kept an 11:30/mile pace for all 4 miles. I know that isn’t sounding very quick, but it’s my comfortable pace. I’d have no problem running the entire half marathon at that pace either. Speaking of, I’ve got to stop putting off my registration before the price gets any higher. I think I’m going to run the race in my hometown of Pittsburgh. The downside of this is that I will have to sit in a car for 5 hours after completing the race. However, I don’t have too many qualms about taking a sick day that Monday if my legs are stiff/ready to fall off.
I may finally break out of my indoor running rut tomorrow evening. It’s going to be a balmy 37 degrees! However, we might get more snow after that. Ah, how I love living in the Northeast.
