December 2, 2013

Ushered in a new month by waking late and heading out the door at 615 AM.  Forced me to turn a planned seven in to a five-miler.  No complaints.  Felt slow and stiff until the two mile mark.  Marine Layer Fog and a cold, bone-chilling drizzle from the start.  Unfortunately, if the weather folks are correct, this will go down as the best weather for a week or so.  Arctic Madness screaming this way with frigid temps and winter precipitation--ice, sleet, snow, the works.  Pace was slower than usual for five miles at 9:47 min/mile.  Will revert to a M-W-F-Sa schedule in preparation for commencing with Higdon's unique from of masochism in late December. There has to be a better way to catch a buzz. Tomorrow at the gym for a chest and tri workout.  Whirlpool and Steam.  Wednesday a frigid six awaits.
