Today I ran 7 miles. I ran it with a pace of 8.4 minute mile.
My route involved rolling hills. One mile was off road on a very snowy trail.
Today I struggled on my run. I warmed up for the first mile than deceided to try a trail. It started off ok but as I ran deeper into the woods the snow became quite deep on the trail. By the time I hit the road again, I was ringing wet from the knees down. I felt like I was running with 2lb. weights on my feet. I also had that dang head wind again. It was for sure a great workout, I was tired!!
I did try my HR monitor for the first time and held it at about 152-160 going up hills.
