Ten Degrees

Ten Degrees makes a bigger difference than I thought when running outside. On Monday it was 32 degrees and I felt warm running, hands were warm, nothing felt cold. This morning it was 22 degrees at the start of the run. I wore practically the same clothes and felt much colder, wish I had brought my hand warmers. I finally warmed up around 3 miles into the run, but my hands never really warmed up.

Wednesday is generally the day that I do long runs, but since I’m doing the CompuTrainer test tomorrow morning I was trying to keep my legs fresh, so I kept it to 5 miles. My GPS watch had trouble picking up the satellites early so my first split says 9:27 and when I got back to the Y it said 4.75 miles. So I ran another quarter mile to make it an even 5. I think I will let the watch sync up with the satellites a little bit longer next time. Another odd thing about the data from the watch this morning is that it says I burned 200 calories less than I did on Monday for pretty much the same distance.

Here is the Garmin results http://connect.garmin.com/activity/62050802

Weight: 169 (Taken at Y, I generally weigh a little less on that scale than at home)
