One of my concerns about training for Boston, running throughout the winter, was alleviated this morning. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like getting up at 4:45 in January and February, but this morning December gave me a preview and it wasn't bad at all.It was 14 degrees and there was two inches of snow on the ground. The sky was clear; Orion up in the west shone brightly. I enjoyed hearing the snow crunch as I ran. I was going to try to run at least two miles of my scheduled 4 mile run at tempo pace, but it was difficult to maintain a steady pace because of the uneven surfaces and icy conditions. I ran 4 miles around an 8:00 minute pace, which was fine with me given the conditions.
Bring on winter!
