Another nasty day

What is going on anyway? Another miserable day for running, with steady cold rain, barely 0C (32F), with a fairly strong NE wind. Had planned to do an out and back 30-30min route but changed my mind because of traffic and the chance of icy conditions and did a loop to the town limits and then around the Point.

Not feeling especially keen at first but resisted the temptation to take a side street and shorten the route (counted a total of 14 turnoffs passed). Once again it was the counting that kept me going, just do one more street... The worst part was the exposed peninsula as always and I started to feel cold until after the turn when the wind was behind me. Oh, btw I'm afraid that I buckled under with today as the 1st day in long pants this season :-( and was really glad I did! It was close to popsicle conditions for most of the run in the wind and rain, yuck! Total of about 7.5 in 63:30 and HR>80% for 55% of the run.

Hoping for a decent day soon, where the weather is not a factor and I can just enjoy the run. The best part of today's run was the hot shower at the end!

Good for you for getting out there in that weather. We've had such great weather the last few days. I bet we pay for it real soon!
