I finally got out for a run today. I had to double check my records, but was
able to confirm that I had not run outside since December 7, 2012. Worse still I only had 5 treadmill runs
during the interim. The unfortunate
circumstances were a couple of significant gout flare ups, traveling and some
relatively cold weather. For me cold
weather is an excuse not to train outdoors.
Today felt great. It
was so nice to get outside and enjoy the 50 degree temperatures, sunshine and
light breeze. I overdressed a bit, but
given today’s modern fabrics overdressing is a non-issue. My average pace was crawling along at
11:22/mile. While this is a far cry from
my race goals, it was nice to get out for my regular lunch time loop.
