They are so refreshing at this time of year not only because of the warmer temperatures but also to actually see the sunshine. :-) I look forward to hearing about your OKC training and of course about the race. Let me know if you have any more training questions - it was fun chatting with you about it. Also, I've felt the same way with having a more difficult time accepting pace changes in the cold - I think it's because in the Midwest we have more of the heat/humidity that slows us down in the summer than the sub-10 degree stuff, so we are just more used to the heat slow downs. My easy pace was slow last week, but today at 35 degrees it was back to "normal" which was reassuring! Hopefully we don't get anymore below zero days!Sara Ibbetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186583699282775885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958332915367030324.post-82362965860491436652018-01-08T06:31:24.585-08:002018-01-08T06:31:24.585-08:00I have taken your idea of running on my lunch brea...I have taken your idea of running on my lunch break and I love it! I have some quick shower wipes and an extra deodorant I keep at work. I am lucky that I have a very flexible job as well. It is also always hard for me to accept that my pace will be off in more extreme temperatures, but more so the cold than the heat. I have decided I am going to do the OKC marathon for my spring race, so my training will probably be peaking during the coldest month lol, ugh. Thanks for your tips and good luck at the Houston marathon :).April Harterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345998042170662629noreply@blogger.com
