Have I ever mentioned that I love Cold Weather?
Seriously, normally I despise cold weather. I grew up in Florida where you wear flip flops year round and you swim on Christmas. The beaches never close and neither to the theme parks. I miss Florida weather badly.
However much I do not like the cold weather... running in it sure is fun! As long as you have the proper garments, cold weather running can be a blast.
Look at the Data from my past two runs. These are the two runs that are my immediate runs after the marathon.
1/18/2009 @5pm- 6 miler
2r/2.5w interval
Overall Time- 1:28:02
14:40 average pace
149 average HR
179 max HR
10:51- Fastest Run Interval
Most of my Run intervals for this 6 miler were in the low 11s high 102. Seriously that is great for me. And no walk breaks in the 20 minute miles :)
1/21/2009 @ 6:15pm- 5K
2r/2.5w Interval for 2 miles and 2r/1w for 1.1 miles
Overall Time- 44:50
14:28 Average Pace
145 average HR
175 Max HR
11:29- Fastest Run Interval
All of my run intervals for this run were between 12:31 and 11:29. Seriously Kids, this is amazing for me. My walk breaks were decent too.
SO yes for now I love the cold weather. I have recently purchased some cold weather running gear and I am one happy Clam! Once I get a few more runs in it... expect some gear reviews soon.
Here I am getting ready to cross the finish line at Disney! I had just spotted my friends who were cheering me on. Thanks Mandie for catching this great photo! (maybe if it had been cold at Disney... I would of had some awesome intervals LOL)
