Cold Winters Night

Been a while I know, but I did manage to get out for a run on Tuesday night. I should imagine the temperature outside must have been about -3'c and ice still heavily visible on the pavements. Only a 40min run tonight incorporating interval training. 
I started of with a 5 min warm up pace, no heart monitor used today, then into normal pace approx 145 beats per min, avoiding most of the ice as best as possible, this  I did for 15 Min's. Then 10 Min's fast pace, normally heart rate approx 165 beats per min, then a 10 min cool down. Nearly went over on the ice but managed to stay on my feet all the way round. 7.35km run at an average pace of 5min31sec per km.
Unfortunately this will be my last blog entry for at least a month as I have just undergone some minor surgery and  I'm unable to do any training for that period, not happy as my first marathon is on the 3rd April 2011, which will put me behind, especially as I was up to 2hr 40mins on my long runs, approx 28kms,but there's not much I can do about that now. 
Later everyone and will be back in the New Year. Happy Christmas to all
Steve
