Fruit smoothie!
December 29th, 2009 Posted in Training Runs
I took advantage of a day off from work and went for a run this afternoon. Running in daylight during the week is such a novelty. I don’t get up early enough to run before work and it is dark when I get home. It was cold conditions for a run: 21 degrees, 17mph winds with gusts up to 25mph, wind chill 7 degrees. I wore multiple layers and used my Mizuno Breath Thermo tights, long sleeve shirt and socks as my base layers.
My intention was to run an out and back of 4-5 miles. I ran into the wind on the way out. At the turnaround point, I decided to keep running. I combined a couple of routes that I’ve run separately and turned it into an 8 mile run. The cold temperature turned my bottle of Gatorade into a fruit smoothie–which, surprisingly, tasted good.

I’ve taken advantage of the light work load this week and run at lunchtime. I so much prefer running in the daylight to the moonlight. It seems to have worked well for you, too.
