Week 2, Run 3

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.
