Feeling Great at Eight Below



It was eight below tonight. There was no wind though, so it was a good night to get out. I felt great on my 5.85 mile run. I started the first two miles averaging 7:33 per mile. I slowed a bit the next two miles at 7:49 average per mile; my last 1.85 miles was strong as I kept the pace and averaged 7:48 per mile average. It was a nice feeling when I got done to see I was averaging below 8:00 miles again. I am hoping to get in 3 or 4 runs a week in. If I can keep this pace up, I think I can hit some PRs this spring and summer. I uploaded a couple pictures I took after my run. The picture above shows my breath. Unfortunately I closed my eyes on all the pictures where I had the flash on. The picture below shows me with the flash off, eyes open.
