Yesterday’s Workout

I ventured out into the cold, and I mean cold yesterday for an easy 5 mile run at Mounds State Park in Anderson, IN.  The temps were around 22 with wind chills in the single digits.  I wore lots of clothes, which made some segments pretty warm but was perfect for segments when the wind was blowing straight at you.  It felt good to be out on the snow covered trails, welcoming in the new year with a friend and an entry in the running log.  We ran it in 47:05 not too bad for the conditions and a lot faster than our last 5 miler out there!
