- run 24:39, 4.67 km
left it a little short today because i overshot both of the last two days. just good to get out the door and stay on schedule.

752
- run 1:32:27, 15.80 km
short sleeve plus long sleeve is better than a sweatshirt temperature-wise when it's mid-40s, but irritated my nipples :'(

longer than i meant to run but i got lost in rich people land, so many fucking cul-de-sacs and no signage.

I use a buff for winter runs, preferably the 'light' ones ( not half fleece ), wrapped around neck, whenever ears freeze i pull it up to cover mouth, nose, ears. Then i get too hot, i lower it again.
Congrats!  :highfive:

it's really only my ears that get uncomfortably cold on a run, unless it's well below freezing, so i feel like i'd cycle through the too hot phase too much to make a buff work.

yesterday

- run 57:27, 11.01 km
route planning fail, this wasn't supposed to be quite so long. oops.

thanks loopie!

- run 38:42, 7.54 km
adjusting to cold. long sleeve shirt plus sweatshirt is too warm at 42/6 degrees but gloves were great. would have been nice to have ear muffs, too.

saturday
- speed
-- warm up
-- 800m x [3:02, 2:56]
-- cool down
late morning. track was open so i did it there. was dragging a little but not unhappy with the times or split.

sunday
- run 1:14, 12.96 km
rainy but not too cold. pretty nice.

forgot to log saturday before, added now.

760
- tempo
-- warm up x 2 km
-- run x 5 km @ 4:37 [4:39, 4:51, 4:35, 4:33, 4:27]
-- cool down x 1.86 km

EDIT: signed up to do a 5k race on 17 december, with my mom. she did her first 5k last weekend (run/walking with a friend of hers who is not in great shape) but she's gotten it in her head to do another triathlon so she's starting to run again and wants to race to give herself little motivators. very cool. i think i'll just be aiming for 20:xx, given how my last 5k went. will not taper or anything, treat it as a training run.

thanks adarq!

actually followed through on signing up for the half marathon in march. it was expensive, too, so i'm really committed now!  :P

762
- run 46:02, 7.58 km
very relaxed.

763
as of today, i am 36. age  :personal-record:

- run 1:17:39, 12.89 km
fuckin' cold, 38/4 degrees or so, and gusty. wore gloves and was glad to have them.

764
- speed work
-- warm up
-- 800m x [3:03, 3:01], 1:30 walking rest
-- cool down

again starting off conservatively. these are meant to be RPE 8-9 on the plan i'm following but i'll work up to that. still, was huffing and puffing a bit at the end of the second one. long way to go, long way to go.

also, meant to run these on the track at the high school that's about a kilometer from my place but there was a JV football game in full swing, with a big crowd. duly noted: no track work on saturday mid-afternoons until the winter.

welp, missed yesterday because i procrastinated until it was 40 degrees and raining so hard that the power was flickering in my house. off to a great start!

today better.

- tempo/race pace
-- warm up x 2 km
-- run x 5 km @ 4:40 (4:38, 4:38, 4:36, 4:40, 4:38)
-- cool down

because i have 4+ months and have done essentially no work above easy pace in many moons, plan is to start conservatively. this translates to about a 1:38-1:39 half marathon; i'll need to run at 4:16 pace to get under 1:30. so i'll drop 0:05/km every few weeks, and also build from 5 km to 7 km for the meat of these runs.
