After knocking out a 9 mile run last Sunday, I missed 2 running days this week. With these winter storms I've been getting hammered with overtime at work. Luckily, having 9 miles on the first day of the week still let me finish with a better than usual week. 20.75 miles in total (rounded up to 21, since last week I rounded down). I did 7.4 miles today with a really strong wind and loose snow, packed snow, and/or slushy snow road conditions. I still averaged 8:35 minute miles, but I likely would have shaved some time if the roads were clear.
I do wonder if I'd be thinner if I live in a warmer climate. I can't help but think that our bodies adapt to our living environments.
BTW: I signed up for the Brooklyn Half Marathon at the urging of my niece. I'll probably run with her, which will considerably slow my pace. I haven't decided if I should run another Half Marathon around the same time (but solo) just to see if I would cut around 13 minutes off my previous time of 1:58. Jeez... $75 for allowing me to run 13.1 miles.... I hope I get a REALLY nice T-Shirt!
