Kzoo Week 1 results

Winter really can throw you a curve ball with training. We rung in the new year with unseasonably warm weather in the mid 40's. I was excited to start training in hopes I could get outside and enjoy some possible "warm" weather. Instead, it was mostly low 20's and teens. But, I got all my runs in this week thanks to the treadmill. I bundled up for the long run and did get outside, which was cool. Mid-teens run for just over 8 miles.

M - 3 miles
T - 5 miles
W - 3 miles
R - 5 miles
F - Rest
S - Rest
S - 8.2 miles

I thought of trying to run on Friday, but the workday was packed. Saturday was freezing and we ran errands all day, so I trekked out on Sunday instead.

I bundled up with a nice fleece type winter sports hat. I wore my Nike long sleeve tech shirt (sort of like lycra) and a fleece coat. I wore my long running pants I picked up for cheap from Kohls. I also wore a pair of those simple cotton gloves you can get at Target or Walmart. The onesize fits all kind that are normally a buck or 2 for 3 or whatever. I also wore some plain white athletic socks and pulled them up as far as they went up my calves. I wore the Nike Pegasus shoes which were fine in the snow.

I was a little cold much of the first half, and every time the wind picked up I was chilled. I wish I had a windbreaker for the outside layer.
