Training to Train – T Minus 4 Days
With four days to go before my marathon training schedule begins I wanted to get a decent 5 mile run in. For any of you in the northeast you know it has been extremely cold lately. Tonight it was -2 degrees with the wind chill.
I felt pretty good for the first 3 miles. It was kinda like Rocky IV when Rocky was training out in the middle of the snow in Russia. I felt rad. After that though, when my eyelashes started freezing together, I starting thinking that it might be a good idea to curl up in a little ball and take a nap for a few minutes in a snow bank. I didn’t actually do it and made it home in one piece, but it was by far the most miserable run of the year.
DRAGO!!!
