My last set of 10's! I guess I'm officially done the Learn to Run ;) Well not totally because my last two runs didn't consist of the full set of 2 x 10 minutes. But pretty close. I didn't get any other runs in last week because I felt crappy the entire week.

I ran this morning. Before getting ready to work. At 5:40 am. And then had to shovel three feet of snow because of the blizzard last night. I had to cut the run short because I dawdled before getting ready and didn't have enough time. But some is better than nothing.

and yes I'm tired. Although I think that is more due to the snow shovelling. I'll post the details when I get home.

1.99 K
-20 C (-4F) with blizzard conditions (snow, wind, poor visibility) - no wonder I ran inside
1 set of 10 minutes (10 minutes!), walking 1 minute and then running 5 minutes, 2 minute warm up and cool down (had to cut it short due to lack of time because I dawdled)
Felt ok. During the day I was pretty tired but I also shovelled a ton of snow before work as noted above (and then had to shovel snow when I got home as well - ok I used the snow blower but still); I felt better after I had my latte. ;)

but really I figure it's pretty good for my first morning run. At least I did it. I inadvertently woke up at 5 am anyhow (storm woke me up). I figure I'll sleep pretty good tonight. I am very tired.

My last set of 8's

and it was BRUTAL. The kind of run where at 2 minutes in you are asking yourself can I walk yet? My legs were like lead. But I did it. I did have to sneak a couple extra walk breaks in tho. Oh well.
It's done.
