So we did our 16K run today and it was a lot better than what it felt like in summer. I know the weather has lot to do with that, no more I am running out of water. Infact I am not even using any gels. I did take few blocs mostly due to peer pressure but over all I feel really good. I was a bit under the weather today almost to the point wanted to skip the run. I did not and we all went slow and it was really a good run. Last Half Marathon at this time I was already going to a physio for my calf injury. I did get a small pinch this week at same spot as last time but stretching has helped to fix that.
Dressing for weather in winter is really hard when it was extreme cold I always felt like I need another layer and today with just a t-Shirt I was soaked with sweat in balmy 3C and light rain. I was also surprised to meet new runners who ran only in winter and hated to run in Summer. I find running in winter is lot less taxing on the body. Its hard to stay hydrated in winter when you drink so little water but its lot easy to carry a bit of water in winter than summer. Anyway enough ranting about this.
We are going to taper the runs down to 14 -12 and than again go up to 18 before we slow down before the race. Garmin for some reason was a bit off with distance today. I thought GPS did not get a lock but it got it right the whole route was also correct yet the distance was bit OFF compared to others and what it should have been. We went east to cherry beach and than to Leslie and marina around it. It was scenic to see the frozen lake and it was so quiet there.
Here is how the run went today ....
