Just finished week two of training and this week's key runs included a 3x1600 track workout between 6:48-6:58 pace on Tuesday. Thursday was a 6 miler at 9:07 pace. then luckily I beat the snow and was able to get the 14 miler in about 2:14. The other days are easy runs of 4 miles or crosstraining elements or rest. The full weekly report will follow later this evening. Getting back to the long run, it was very cold about 22F but not much wind. I wore Long Johns (not cotton!), another "double" layered shirt, hat wiith mask, gloves, carried my water in a camelback Gobe (hint: place the Gobe Under outer layered tops and run tubing through the sleeve of the shirt, keeps the water warm enough from freezing in the tube),and also had one clifshot gel, cola flavor. I also had fun on this run because I took my running partner on a geocaching adventure. We didn't find the "treasure" but it did give us a new course to follow and another area to explore for another day. Who ever thought there were wooded trails in Wallington, NJ?
