- 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.

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! 

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.

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.

- run 33:34, 6.47 km
legs felt a little heavy, not surprising.

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.

thanks adarq!

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

as of today, i am 36. age 

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

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.
