Soccer complex. Neighborhood just got way too old. No motivation, so I changed scenery. A nice 8 miles felt really good. It was extremely cold with the wind. I had to change the course and run it reverse. One stretch where the wind was the worst is wide open, the other stretch going the same way on the opposite is partially blocked by hill. So by running in reverse I sacrificed a larger hill for breaking the wind. Made the run much better and more bearable. Miles went by soon enough, and I saw many other runners quit way before I did, and they started after me. Looking forward to warmer weather, but getting my money's worth while it's here. |
