Dawn Patrol.  Frigid North wind sweeping down the plains.  19 degrees Fahrenheit with a windchill of 4 degrees.  It was uncomfortably cold this morning.  Rocked the full head and face mask for the first time.  Solid. Saved my face from freezing and falling off. Felt good once everything warmed up.  My gloves are rated for the mid-30s, which is somewhat underperforming when the temps are in the single digits. Finished the go-to 5.03 campus loop in a slower-than-usual 48:26.  Overall, it was a 9:38 min/mile pace.  Grunge Mountain Mix on the box.  Tuesday AM workout focused on the Chest and Tri. Thursday at the gym with an emphasis on the Back and Bi...and the whirlpool...and the steam room.
