10 miles in 24°F / 12°F Windchill #twit2fit

Dec 23
2008

10.05 miles in 1:29:04 for 8'52" pace, with one lap right at 9'00"–not too bad.

Wind really picked up towards the end of the run.

Wore long sleeve Under Armour Cold Gear shirt, Under Armour compression shorts, Under Armour Cold Gear gloves, Fitness Gear (Dick's Sporting Goods) nylon pants, OBX Marathon cap, and St. Jude ear warmers.  Can't feel my face, and I could've used a pair of cotton gloves at the beginning.

The course is amazing flat, with an......
