W3W2

YAY!!!!

Today the temp was quite different than yesterday.  It was 30 degrees.  It was cold, but it actually didn't feel that bad.  This is what I wore:  running shorts, sweat pants, t-shirt, long sleeve mesh running shirt, light fleece, hat and mittens.  I think I could have done without either the fleece or the long sleeve shirt.  My torso got a little hot.  And my hands got hot and sweaty.   

I almost went to the gym to run on the treadmill, but when I peeked out to check the temp, it didn't seem that bad to me.   I'm glad I went on the trail.  It just makes it better.  I was tired by the end of the 2nd 3 minute run but I was kinda sad that it was over.  But glad too!  The best news is that my Max  HR only got up to 180!  I think I am making progress.  I am also able to walk and run faster, though I'm not intentionally trying to.  Well, I'm trying to walk faster, but I'm just running at the pace that feels good.  Actually, I spend alot of time trying to slow down.

Impressive! And it was cold yesterday!

You'll figure out how much to wear the more you do it. You'd be surprised how little I wear to run outside in the winter, especially considering how I'm almost always cold otherwise.
