it was cold all week and I didn’t have the courage to get out of bed early and face negative temperatures. No above freezing temps all week long and with the snow and ice on the sidewalks and roads, it was a good time to take a break. My body and my mind needed a rest anyways.
Today it is still below freezing, but the sun is out and I went for an enjoyable 9 k run in and around Marly. The route had some short hills that made my hr go up and kept me warm. Average pace was 5:07/km and avg hr at 143 or 80% max.
