Sucked.
Run stats:
week 2, day 3:
33 degrees (after windchill? don't know, but Jade said to make sure to say 18 mph wind gusts?)
3.00 miles
35:09
Pace: 11:11, 11:26, 12:33
With: Jade
Running with Jade made it more enjoyable and probably kept me from turning around early & saying "F*&^ this!" Clearly, it was way worse than previous times. Can't beat myself up too much since I have a sinus cold, have not caught up on sleep fully (probably because of nose at night), have worn myself out & it's girl time, but I seriously felt like I was 200 lbs. today. Sooo hard to move! I resorted to walk/run after 1.75 mi. I'm definitely wondering whether I'll mentally be able to make myself go 10 or 13 miles later, but at least I proved to myself that I'll be able to push through anything if I'm not in top shape the day of the Warrior Dash.
Also, I think things were not helped by changing my set-up. My feet were a bit cold the last run I did... not bad, but it made me consider using socks this time. As a result, I wore toed knee socks. This was, methinks, a bad idea. I overheat anyway (was once again down to a tee shirt after the first 1.15 mi), and something over the past 3 years has increased the circulation in my feet because I don't get as cold anymore. It's weird. Adaptation? Anyway, the knee socks just threw me off. my feet were so much happier when we got done & I took off my vibrams & socks and padded around on the 30 degree concrete barefoot. weird.
