My first long run outside today! Weeeeeeeeeee! Still lots of snow on the ground but the roads and sidewalks are pretty clean. I came to one conclusion: Grand Falls is one "hilly" town. You can't get away from them. I probably ran 1 mile out of 6.5 on flat ground. Some are slight slopes but some are killer. Major heartbeats! I can't wait to get my GPS watch so I can see the elevation changes and monitor my heart rate. I also won't have to take a drive after the run to determine the distance ran.

I thought I was going really slow but I still managed a pace of 9.7 minute/mile or a 10k pace of 1 hour 28 seconds.

It was a bit chilly but not too bad. I dressed just right. It was +8C this afternoon (46F).

Miles today: 6.5, 1h 3m 23s, pace: 9.7 minute/mile.
Miles this year: 148.75
