Running 9 miles yesterday was hard! It was 14 degrees yesterday and had just snowed so I thought it might be easier if I wasn't cold, but it was so hot that I don't know which is worse. I was also worried that it might be harder on back in the cold. I also made the mistake of doing the elliptical machine on Friday, and my legs were a little sore from that. I was running really slow, but I was SO tired by the end. I actually took more walk breaks than I usually do. I was surprised it was that hard because its definitely getting easier on my 30 minute runs. Last week I improved my mile time from 10:13 to 9:39 which I was happy about.
