73 days to go - More of the white stuff

Route #20 Duration : 54 min 47 sec Energy : 702 KCal Distance : 6.1 miles Max HR : 164 Bpm Av HR : 145 Bpm Mile pace : 08:58 min/mile Mission statement :- 1 mile jog, then 4 miles in around 33 mins (brisk pace 08:15) , then a further 1 mile jog. For a while there I was not convinced I was going to be able to get out for a run today, what with the blizzard conditions of the morning, however, by lunchtime things had got a lot better and I ventured out. The roads were mostly covered in snow and quite slippery, what with that and the multiple layers I was wearing I was quite surprised to run the 4 faster miles on schedule. I actually completed them in 32:10 (08:02) which was a little quicker than planned. I hope that the weather improves soon, the slippery conditions tend to convert running into a dangerous sport! My cold seems to have been a 24 hour sniffle so no real dramas there, but I am sad to say that my hip has stiffened up over the last few days.
