This morning was a true test for someone living in Lake Havasu City for more than a couple of weeks. The morning temps here in Olathe Kansas was 18 degrees with a 10-14mph wind making the wind chill temp 4 degrees! I got dressed and bundled up to hit the roads at 5am and made it down the hill and around the corner and when that wind hit me I said "Oh my, Oh NO!" Instantly turned around and ran home to de-layer and start on my treadmil. It was way to cold for me this morning so I modified the planned work out of 3 pace miles in the middle to three 800's on the treadmill at 6:30/mi pace with 800 inbetween and then one 400 at 6min/mi to wrap it up. 5.5 miles on the treadmill was pretty hard and I wanted to hop off multiple times but I got 6 miles in all today so I cannot complain. BY THE WAY THERE WAS A DUSTING OF SNOW ON THE ROADS ALSO! I have not ran in snow in probably 10 years! Hopefully it will be a little warmer by Saturday mornings group run otherwise I may be hurting!!
