If I would have ran yesterday I think I would have just opted out today, but I really wanted to punish myself for being a slacker the last week.  So I set my alarm early knowing I would have to shovel a 2' snow drift just to get out of my driveway this morning, and off I went.

Nothing says torture more than a good sub 60 minute 10 miler, so that's what I set out to do, last time I tried it I started out to slow and spent the whole second half of my run making up for lost time, so I tried to get to the 10mph mark as quickly as possible.  It paid off cause at mile 8 my legs felt a little rubbery and I had to slow down for 1 mile.

I'm OK with 0 degrees as long as there is no wind! Oh, I hate the site of blood on my runs too :)

My iPhone says 10 degrees, and the iPhone never lies

yes, i trust the iPhone. 10 degress is balmy compared to 0.

i promise i won't have any nose bleeds during this run. maybe...

I'm mighty impressed Rob. Especially after my paltry efforts today.

The workout you did today is one I do a lot. Lately I've been lacking the motivation though.
