Frigid 5k

I ran a long 5k today. The weather was ridiculously cold again, but I bundled up and I actually enjoyed the run. I didn't go fast and I didn't go slow. I went at my training pace. The weather was in the low 30s. The winds were out of the north at around 10 mph, so it felt colder.

I did 3.19 miles in 33:55 for an average pace of 10:38. Splits were 10:23, 10:36, 10:48, and the last 0.19 was at an 11:20 pace. I am off my training plan by a day. I think I am going to rest Saturday, do a long run on Sunday, and rest Monday. I wonder if I'll notice a difference from running on Saturday and then doing a long run the next day. I am going to see if Shelly and/or Caroline want to do the long run Sunday together. I really did enjoy their company, even if I couldn't do the whole thing with them.
