[today’s run: 9.8 miles]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today was my longest run in quite awhile. I started off from home sometime around 7 am and it took me 2 and half hours to finish. That comes out to about 15 minutes per mile. Definitely not fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the online record of a weather station near our house, the temperature ranged from just below zero degrees to a bit over 4 degrees. I wore two pairs of pants, three shirts and a polyester jacket. I had on some lightweight gloves, a neck buff and a good stocking-hat. I took some “shooting glasses” to protect my eyes, but they quickly fogged up. So I pulled my hat down low instead. That generally worked OK. Some of the time I pulled the buff down to breathe better but then my cheeks would start to feel the bite of the cold. Everything that was covered in some way felt fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did my first leg southwards on Grandview Ave. Arriving back home with 5.2 miles, I changed my shirts, hat, neck buff and gloves for dry. Then I started out again on Asbury toward Kennedy. That out-and-back is just over 4 miles which gave me 9.8 by the time I reached home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t have a lot of problems with the cold other than I had issues with the neck buffs getting wet from my breathing and turning into soaked cloth which isn’t easy to breathe through. I stopped a few times and re-positioned to a dryer part. On the second section I actually took another along and swapped that in for the return leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the sidewalks were in pretty good shape but some were trampled and not shoveled. Footing in general was a bit tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I saw a few other people out running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
