4.46 miles--Snow!

Today was Saturday, and I wanted to get a decent run in.  Unfortunately, it was cold and snow flurries were flying around the whole time.  I really am starting to miss the warmer weather for running.  It seems like it takes me 1/2 hour to just get everything on for running in the cold.  Then while running, I usually have to readjust my mouth covering, gloves, jacket, hat or something!  While running in the warmer weather, I just throw on a top, shorts, and shoes and a hat or sunglasses.  

I logged 4.46 miles and kept about a 12 minute pace.  My lungs had a hard time today, the cold air burned while running, so I had to walk more than I had hoped.  I did take my inhaler, so either I am still struggling to get over my cold stuff, or it just was cold and it hurt.

But, I kept plugging away and ran.  I only have about 24 more days until I need to run 13.1 miles at Disney.  Although I have done 10 miles already, I am starting to worry since the last few runs have not been easy for me.  I know that the excitement of a race makes it easier for me to run well, but I still worry.  I think this weekend I will try to do a long, easy run to help my confidence.
