It was great! The night was 9 degrees, with no wind. I did 3/1 x 7, and I did a good strong run. I picked a new route, down past Westview, past Kyros' and a little further, then back. It was great! No big hills, except that gradual incline on the way back up the school road. But I paced myself and made myself run strong.
It makes a huge difference running on the road vs the sidewalk, as that book says (thanks for lending it to me, Sam!) The sidewalk is brutal on me, where the asphalt is a little more giving. This was prolly a huge part of Sam's discomfort when we went running with Crystal that night.
I'm tired and sore, but definately in a good way. Off for an epson salt bath!

All your comments are positive. No doubt you will have an awesome Sun Run day.
Even if you did 5/1 or 3?1 you know you can do it, stay strong and pace your self. That is a victory.
The fact that I'm conditioning on the road is making a huge difference on how I'll do on that day as well, I'm thinking. It's a completely different run vs the dreadmill. Different muscles, even. Hopefully the weather clears sufficiently in the weeks before so you can get out there, too.
