A.M. 5 mile AT run at East.
The cold, crisp air billowed as I headed out the door this morning. I warmed up some and then began my AT run on the track at East, which those who have run there know can turn into a wind tunnel.
I felt good from the start and avoided slippling for the most part on the small patches of ice speckling the inner lanes. The snow came with increasing intensity as I picked up the pace. Wondering how long I would have decent footing, I deciding I would continue for the prescribed 5 miles unless I risked injury. That point never came, so I finished with a 1/4 inch layer of snow on the track and bare legs burning with cold. My calf felt great.
7:01/mi @ HR 171 was my mode effort, much improved over last week's sick run in much better conditions.
