So I got home last night...it was dark and cold and I was scheduled for a 5 mile progressive run. Good news...I did not ditch the run, just cut it down. Headed out for a 3 miler and just thought I would try and run "fast"...so keep myself feeling a "bit" uncomfortable. Not all out, just not easy. So I wore long running tights, long sleeve dry weave but heavier weight top and a sweatshirt. Knew the sweatshirt would not breath, but wanted to be warm. Also wore gloves and stocking hat--and head lamp! So did get warm and sweated under teh sweatshirt, but otherwise it was "cold". Weird to get so warm under the clothing but still be "cool/cold". I guess it was low 40's when I left. I could see my breath--not something I experience much in FL.
Didn't wear garmin, but overall time was 31:34...so not fast, but not slow.

I AM doing the Disney half...and although it is not a race for me but helping a newbie runner I REALLY wish I was NOT doing it. When I did it in 2006 it was like 38 degrees and you have to be out there by 4 AM!!! I do know now what to "bring" and need to get my "throw away clothes" ready. I am just really bummer and really wish I did not have to do it. I mean being out in the cold 2+ hours before the race and knowing I'll be "running" (or walking) for 3+ more hours in the cold...just not looking forward to it. I need to get my "happiest place in the world" mentality here quick!

I'll be heading out Friday AM for a run before heading to Disney...suspect I'll be wearing my long pants again!.
yeah, I know these 30's to almost 50 is not that bad for most of you, but still freezing my "you know what" off!

Stay warm!!
