I was supposed to be going for a run this evening with my running buddy Gina but at 4 O Clock I received a text saying she wasn't going!
Being determined and not wanting to deviate from my plan I ventured out into the cold and wind alone!
I decided to give the app "Zombie Run!" a go again! I haven't used it since a Zombie sneakily nipped my ankles way back in January when I damaged my ligaments!
I layered up and wore my fleece lined running tights, fleece lined compression top and my Gore Hoodie along with gloves and hat!
However, when I stepped out the back door the cold took my breath away and I felt like I wasn't wearing any clothes!!! BBBRRRRR!
Waiting for my garmin to find satellite was a frustrating experience! If I wasn't so anal about clocking every millimetre I run I would have just gone without it! But even with the wind whipping around (and through) me I couldn't quite make myself go!
Eventually the satellite was located, Zombie run started and I was off!
I soon warmed up but was still pleased I had my layers! It was a very uneventful run. No Zombies appeared and the stupid app paused itself at mile 3 - I think the auto pause must have got stuck on! Very disappointing!
Anyhow I managed a fairly slow 5.65 miles at an average 9.44 minute mile pace! Although I am sure with the wind it will be equivalent to 12 miles!!
Feeling good that I braved the elements!
