Jan. 21 11 miles

Angie and I ran late this afternoon after she got off work at 4:00. We decided to go ahead and knock out the long run for the weekend so we could go to the wine bar on Saturday night and not have to worry about fitting a run in. I also had been hydrating all day with plan of doing a run anyway. It was freezing at 4pm on Friday. I think the temperature was somewhere around 9 degrees. I wore my tights, underarmor, long sleeve tshirt, hat, and gloves. The run went pretty well. I felt good for not running a whole lot lately. We did a nice route around Thomas More trying to avoid main roads because the sidewalks were still covered in snow. It turned out to be challenging with all the snow and we did spend some time running on all the snow covered sidewalks which really wore me out. I felt really good up until the last half mile or so. at this point we were on turkeyfoot road and couldn't get to the sidewalks and there wasn't a bike lane. things were a little scary with cars zooming by but we made it and I kept up. After we finished I was freezing cold and it was just getting dark. It took me another two hours, a warm shower, hot tea, and laying in front of the fire place before i finally felt normal again. Overall it was a good run.
