Trail: 11 miles on Monday at Skullbuster.
Easy: 4 runs for 18 miles.
Total: 6 runs for 57 miles.
Back to a full load mileage wise this week, with the exception of one missed run. Wicked rain storm came in Friday keeping me from doing a second trail run. This week also saw a bump of the MP run from 4 to 6 miles. Went out hunting on Saturday so swapped my Sunday easy run with my Saturday long run. Ended up getting home pretty late on Saturday so decided with the miles of walking in the woods to call it good.
By Sunday temperatures dropped into a more normal range for this time of year, no more days of 50 degrees & sunny. Wind also kicked up to a bone chilling 20+ mph. Over the years I've gotten better at dressing for the cold, but still could get a little better. The key to staying warm when the windchill drops to single digits or below is to not wear too much. If you're not cold to start the run then you're over dressed. Once you start moving the idea is to keep from sweating as being wet can get you into some serious trouble temperature wise. Next week is a repeat of the same, hopefully without the missed day. Schedule will be off by one day to accommodate a work function.
