As sunny as Saturday can be, it is still pretty damn cold. Which is fine. I run better in colder weather, stay cooler and my core temperature increases at a substantially lower rate, of course. This was evidenced in a run I had around Lake Calhoun about 15 years ago- bitter cold with no one else around on a bitter cold December night. I could have run forever.
Too bad I'm not 15 years younger.
Today had a better result than Run #1 - same route only in reverse. I felt a groove about halfway, but I am still pretty sensitive to even slight increases in elevation. My body is still a little angry at me, but getting more used to the idea. I stopped twice at precarious intersections, and most of the way was running streetside. No car horns blaring, so that was a plus.
