Typical southern New England Storm today, the 'wintry mix'. This type of weather is the most miserable to run in, not only because it is really cold but also because of the enormous puddles along all of the sidewalks. They may not look deep, but then you accidentally run into one and it is ankle deep and then you find yourself running with a soaking wet shoe and your toes start to freeze...
Thankfully, I knew this was coming and was able to get out on a long-ish (7.5) mile run on the hills out in Newton/Brookline/Brighton. It was not too terribly cold and it was good to get out on the hills again after running in Florida on completely flat terrain over the last couple of weeks.
Tomorrow was also the beginning of my Tuesday/Thursday double sessions. I swim for 1.5 hours in the morning with the BU Master's Swim program and run in the afternoons. Soon I will have track workouts with the Dana Farber team on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights will be the Woodland Hill run followed by Crossroads. The first day of a double session in a few weeks definetly hit me hard. Although I am sure I will adjust again soon enough.
Needless to say, I am resting my feet today and staying out of this cold, wet weather. The rest of the week looks good.
