I ran this workout on 11/06.
Before starting this run, I had very nearly talked myself out of doing it. I was *tired* and achy from an hour long drive home and not sleeping well the night before. However, I put my earbuds in, turned on my warmup play list and got psyched up for doing the run anyway.
Because I had under dressed for my 11/04 run, I made sure to wear my extra warm running shirt. I had just gotten home, I had a good idea of the outside temperature and felt that I did not need warm leggings.
Wrong.
The temperature dropped more than 10 degrees during the half hour that I spent getting ready to run. Even worse, my hands and head got very cold. My head got cold enough to cause a headache. I did not pack my gloves, hat, gator, and ear warmers for this trip but I will need them in the coming weeks plus some more cold weather running gear for my torso.
I had planned a double loop route (running the same 1.1 mile route twice) to get the distance and time that I needed. However, on the first loop, I very nearly got sprayed by a skunk. I decided then that I was going to take a different route to get the rest of my run time and distance. I did my best but I ended up getting back to the starting point without getting the entire run in. Because I was suffering from a headache from being so cold, I elected to chalk this one up to experience and declare myself finished.
Summary
All W2 workouts are identical:
