I figure it's March, I have 3 weeks of hard training left, it's about time to start weaning myself from the treadmill. It's done a fabulous job getting me back in shape but now it's time to hit the ground running :-).

Started at 4:30 am, decided to wear shorts, I did wear compression socks to keep my shins warm though, no one likes cold shins. Ran from the Marriott up to the U, up Sunnyside to the Zoo and then basically just followed the last 10 miles of the Des. News course. It was really hard, very nice morning but really cold running up Sunnyside into a cold headwind. I was pretty hammered by the end, and glad it was done.

Thanks, I think next time I'll wear 2 pairs of shorts though.

Wear 2 pairs of shoes instead (to keep your toes warm)

Good run!

Excellent 15 miler. I've never run any of those routes but I know Allie cat has! :)

I was cold this morning, so I can't comprehend how you did shorts. Tough!

Nice work Rob. Every time I drive up sunnyside I think about how lucky I am to never have to run it! :)

A nice uphill finish run...can't beat it! Glad you had those compression sleeves.

Nice run Rob. Sunnyside is a beast in and of itself. Shorts? What was the temp at 4:30? It was only 26 at 7:00.

My phone said 28 degrees, but I don't trust that thing.

I just broke 100 monthly viewers to my blog, very exciting. Now I need to watch what I say.
