Today's Workout

Who turned off the heat? 32 degrees this morning which means I had to go retrieve my lobster gloves from storage so I could run. This is ridiculous.

Up at 7:10 AM and out for a 60 minute run with 4 x 5 minutes in zone 3. Ever try to increase your heart rate in the cold--very difficult. I'm no scientist but my understanding is your heart beats slower in the cold to conserve body heat. Getting into zone 3 meant using the hills and making these old legs move. What a chore.

Tomorrow, a day of rest before we enter a big week of training.
