A little cold for a long run....

Missing friends this week as I return to the grind but had a great training week.  I don't taper like I'm "suppose" to but it works for me.  I ran a little under 25 miles this week and yesterdays run of between 5 and 6 miles was the strongest I've felt in a long time.

Monday, however, was not so strong as I chose to do a 10 miler with the breezy Tri-Cities weather hovering somewhere in the teens.  The sun dipped behind Badger Mountain at about mile 6 and from there... Lets just say that the chill set in.  There were parts of me that lost feeling that I would have rather stayed comfortably warm.  Time for some spandex I do believe.  And what made matters worse was that I didn't cap a bottle on my fuel belt properly so for 4 miles I was sloshing Cytomax all over my back... Awesome.

So it was a great week and I'm feeling perfect rolling into the Rock n Roll Phx event!  Gonna do a few maintenance runs next week and then head south for the winter (3 days).
