ran 9 miles yesterday and 8 more today despite the very cold weather. yesterday was a nice and simple run north on the trail for 4.5 miles and then turn around. i saw no other runners at all. strange even for this weather. did have a guy go by on a bike and he re-passed me on the way home. must have been even colder. wind chill was 7degrees when i ran. wasn't too bad when the sun was on me but the wind was not friendly when it gusted. at any rate i did it and it went ok.
spent the rest of the day practicing some golf, reading the book-club books and going to home depot and buying bricks which i laid out when i got home. was nice to be back inside.
today i ran 8 miles. it was much colder but less windy. though not windless. i went back and forth two miles at a time so as not to be too far from home at any one time and to have the sun on me more frequently. did some short pickups to try and stretch the hamstrings as i have noticed that when i run in the very cold that i shorten my stride and my hammies tighten up. even stopped twice and did some jumping jacks and squats just for kicks. did see one other runner today- a lady who never has winter clothes on, but today she had on an overcoat of some sort. ....and two dog walkers.
followed the same routine by practicing some golf, though less, and then back to the book which i finished. and then lots of inside type stuff and now getting ready for travel.
an ok two days though not the way i would want to spend too many days. i just don't like being inside.
