Sunday Twelve Miler

Not the longest run of the month, but probably the nastiest!  We met at 6:45 AM to get to Dave's house by 7:00. Ran with Dan, Dave, Keith, and Wendy. It was not dark, but rain was falling and it was almost ice. To make things worse, the whole day was very windy. Ran all over North Liberty. At least, that's how I felt. 
Felt pretty good most of the time. I felt I could have gone for a few more miles. Tried to feel relaxed and listened to Runners-Podcast (music at around 170 BPM). I hope the music helped. I will listen to music next time (Tuesday morning).

Tuesday Morning Run

Met with Dan at 500 in the morning at my house. It was very dark and extremely foggy. Dan brought a flash light which we both found very useful. We turned left on Rohret Rd and met Kim and her dog. We then ran towards the IC airport and logged several miles. Parts of the side walk were covered with sheets of ice, so we preferred running on the road facing traffic. We turned around and kept a very good pace the whole way. Finished more than nine miles with an average pace of about 9:10 MPM. 
It is hard to get up so early in the morning, but of course, it feels nice when you are done and you know you have accomplished something.
