It was cold this morning. Wind chill made it 0 degrees. And 6:00 AM was the only convenient time for me to do my long run today, so I couldn't wait until later when it was warmer. The wind chill was just a little too much for the gear I have- specifically my running pants and shorts. I got a little too frosty in some sensitive places. So- note to self- buy some winter running underwear when they go on sale. Otherwise the run went well, and I was definitely in low gear and ended up just under 9:00 per mile. I'm feeling so good right now that I'm thinking about another short run tonight.
I really focused on keeping my shoulders relaxed during this run. Mostly just letting them relax and drop whenever I noticed. I did stop once and stretch my back and shoulders for a few minutes because they were so tight. I'm still feeling the need for ice on my right shoulder/trap, so I need to keep working on that.
Now, it's time for a nap.
