It was cold again in Atlanta. I waited as long as I could but still the temperature only got to about 25 degrees or so.
So I went up to the Post Office, with two packages in tow. Luckily the line wasn't so long and before I knew it I was running along the gf's course again.
It seems like the cool air is easier to breathe. I felt that halfway through the course I was just starting on a long run and could do a lot more. Wore my new hat today -- I wasn't sure I totally needed it during the run but it felt pretty good to keep on the entire time.
Had to switch up on my windbreaker today -- I put my trusty Nike windbreaker on and it stank of stale sweat, so it went right into the hamper. My red Marmot windbreaker is flashier but I rarely wear it -- why switch up gear that's been more than dependable in races?
Was talking with a co-worker today who said he couldn't just do one form of exercise. I liken it to all-purpose yards versus a specific type of gain. If you can get 30 miles week in and week out, five hours of exercise in, does it matter what kind of exercise it is?
Additionally you have to get the all-purpose yards first. It takes a lot of discipline to be consistent at exercise. And being a specialist isn't all that bad -- logging more than 1,450 miles in a year means you won't ever wonder where the activity is coming from.
Time: noon
Temp: 25 degrees
Gear: Marmot windbreaker, gloves, CFLST, SST (Race for Research), running pants, Nike Air Pegasus/D5.
