It's been so cold, but today it was like spring - 40 degrees! I was thinking about going to the gym, but then I decided that maybe it was warm enough for outdoors. So, I put on my winter Athleta pants and top, and went to the Charles. I was thinking that I would just do a short loop, from the Museum of Science bridge to the Longfellow, but once I started running it felt so great I decided to make it a bigger loop than usual, I did the Mass Ave Bridge to the MOS one. (Starting near the Cambridgeside Galeria).
There was a dusting of snow this morning, so there were a few spots that were kind of slippery, and I walked down some steps instead of running. There was a point where a couple cheetahs came around a curve in the path, and were gone. I don't know how people can run so faaaaast!
In the end I wound up going 4.45 miles in about 45 min. I'm not sure exactly how long it was because I had a couple layers on my arms with sleeves with thumb holes and gloves, so it took a bit little between starting my stop watch and starting running. I put 5 quarters in the meter, and I had exactly 30 min left when I got back, so I'm kind of going by that. That's a 10 min 6 sec mile, which I'm crazy happy about. It really didn't feel like I was running that fast. Go me :)
Oh, and I got all excited because someone new posted a comment on my blog, but again it became clear that they hadn't actually read my blog, it was some religious nut who wanted me to read his blog. Delete.
