10K Run

Ran the reservoir twice. Very chilly with a slight wind. I started running without a warmup as I run slow enough. I did the first 5K in 33:38 with a heart rate of 154. I was very tired and almost quit, but I hit the end, then turned around and ran back. I got very tight in the back and legs on the run back, but kept at it, finishing in 1:12:30 for a split of 38:52.

It had been over a month since I had run a straight 10K and it was much colder than the last time. My previous time was 1:14:58 with a heart rate of 136. A couple weeks ago, I did a 5K, then stopped, walked around, went to my car, had a drink, then ran back. My combined time then was 1:12:40.


I'm not crazy about running in the cold.
