Easy run. Average pace: 10:16/mile.
Outside temp: 17°F.
I finally got back outside. But I have been enjoying listening to The Good Earth while running on the treadmill the last couple of days and I wanted to listen to it on my run today, so I brought along my Sansa and wore my headphones even though the headphones are kind of uncomfortable with all of the cold weather gear. I put the Sansa on my arm before I put my outer jacket on, and so then I couldn't access it to change the volume during the run, which was unfortunate, because I needed it a little louder once I got out into the traffic. Still, I could hear it, but I had to focus on listening and as a result didn't pay a whole lot of attention to my running. I did try to watch out for patches of ice and for cars. What I'm trying to say is that the run passed quickly and relatively painlessly because I was engrossed in the book.
I think we're going to have to go car shopping tonight. I'm not excited about it at all.
Also, I went to the Spring store yesterday and swapped out my old phone for a new one, but the new one doesn't work. I've got to go back there again today. What a hassle. |
