The first real threat of snow is in the forecast and with the cold we are also getting that dreaded east wind. Wednesday night ran 400 meter repeats with my friend, Paul Bate, at a local track and the first turn was into a 20+ mph headwind! We ran 12 of these at a 5:48 per mile pace with 75 seconds between each one. What a workout!
Although I generally like to run alone - running with a partner is fun every now and again. Last night was back to running alone again for a six miler around Cascade Park area. Cold and windy. Thank goodness for a good running hat, wool socks, two long sleeve shirts and running vest, gloves, long running tights with insulated running drawers underneath. Can't wait to run in Mexico next month.
The Vancouver Lake Half Marathon is a week from this Sunday and I am starting to taper my training for that event and then will take a week or so of recovery and then begin full-time training for Boston. In early March will also begin to get more serious with swimming and riding in preparation for the Ironman in June. Total miles for the first 12 days this month - 66.
