| Boston Harbor-You know it's cold when 38deg water is steaming. |
Building strength takes time and persistence. I have 5 weeks of near consistency 37,36,40,39,43, very pleased with this mileage considering a good percentage of it was done on snowshoes or slopping through slush. It all adds up to time on my feet one way or the other and I feel like I am getting stronger. Yesterday I started to feel a little bit of fatigue during the first 2-3 miles and it gradually just melted away as I warmed up (not easy to do when it is 10 degrees out). That is a good sign. Keep plugging towards the 15k on the 6th to see where my fitness is at. The Boston Prep 16 miler yesterday had a temp of 8 degrees/-22 for wind chill at race time. Brutal cold on a brutal course, no thanks, not this year.
