Coming back out of the hole I was in...thankfully; glad I kept backing off and didn't compound the problem earlier this week. Today I was reminded my genetics aren't geared to breathe well running fast in cold, dry air (asthma). But put in a solid effort and ran paces that were fast enough; Blake was way out there setting the curve today and JH was typically ahead of me running strong in his sweet new blue shoes. I felt a couple of tweaks that I was feeling alot more of earlier in the week = right quad and left ankle. Pleased with this run especially when I see my friends are improving in their speed with PRs to come! I PR'd how fast I got in the truck post-run as my hands went numb and I was freezing.
