3 miles (because I forgot the turn off for the 4th). 39 minutes. 13 minute pace.
The drop in pace is due to my clothing situation. I must learn to dress appropriately. It may be 29F out but there’s no need for thermal underwear and sweats. The hoodie also kept pulling out my headphones. Annoying.
I was worried that this run might exacerbate some lower back pain/stiffness I’ve been feeling the last two days, but I actually feel better now than when I left and couldn’t bend down to tie my shoelaces. Running is good medicine after all.
I’m also glad I decided to get off my uber comfy couch and just do this damn run since they’re calling for snow in the area this evening (my running time of choice). Everyone cross your fingers that it will come a blizzard and I won’t have to go into work this whole week!
