about as cold of run as ive had in a while, temps were around 8 degrees with windchill between -5 and 0. at least the winds had calmed and it was sunny, apparently the wc was -15 overnight. i battled with myself over whether to do this run on the treadmill as i knew the windchill was going to be below 0, but i decided to tough it out and build some mental strength. 10.5 miles in the bitter cold..i felt surprisingly good throughout the run however, that was a nice sign. very bundled up, splits:

1- 6:49.1

2- 6:54.8

3- 7:04.2

4- 7:08.9

5- 7:15.5 uphill (35:12, 7:02 pace)

6- 6:55.6 downhill

7- 7:08.8

8- 7:12.2

9- 7:01.5

10- 7:17.9 big hill (1:10:48, 7:05 pace)

last .5- 3:33

TOTAL-- 1:14:22, 7:05 avg pace

overall, very happy with this run as i am getting my mileage up and i still felt good given the awful conditions to run in
