Chilly Run - 10.5 miles

Raj and I got up early and drove over to the constitution trail.  I did not realize it was only 30 degrees outside, and I wore 3/4 length pants and just 2 shirts and an ear band.  Raj had on the jacket mom got him, and long pants.  I thought I would be fine, but it was way too cold to be dressed that lightly.  Nevertheless, we ran 10.5 and ran it quite fast.  My goal was to do 10 minute miles, and I think it was so cold I was quite motivated to meet my goal.  The first 5.5 the wind was at our backs, but it was in our face coming home.  That made the return home all the more difficult.  When we finished, we went for breakfast at Le Peep and I got chocolate chip pancakes.  I am still cold, even after a hot shower.  Thankfully, I have a massage scheduled in 10 minutes!!! :)
Our splits: 9:26, 9:35, 9:47, 9:57, 9:52, 10:00 (wind in face!), 9:52, 9:45, 9:49, 9:47.  Time for 10 miles was 1:37:45.   Time for 10.5 miles was 1:42:44.  

I think I am "officially" ready for VEGAS BABY!!!!

Your goal for Vegas should definitely be sub 10:00.
