A clydesdale no more!

This is my favorite weather to run in - a light snow falling but not cold enough for it to stick to the ground.  I really didn't feel like running this morning but knew that it would be alright once I got started.  My plan was to run up to Davis Blvd. via Eaglewood Dr.  As I was heading up the hill and a painful 11:00/mile pace, I realized that Eaglewood Dr. does not connect to Davis Blvd.  I meandered through the neighborhoods for a little while then headed in a direction that I thought would get me to Davis Blvd.  Finally found my way and ran comfortable along Davis as far as it would take me then headed back towards home.  My pace was quicker than it felt which is always a good thing.

Total Time: 1:46:03 (7:35/mile)

My legs were asking for an easy day and I gave in.  I chose a really bad route to run.  The highway was too busy to run on and the sidewalks haven't been cleared yet.  It was really hard to maintain a decent pace and ended up being more work than it should have been.  We had a Christmas party last night and my BIL gave me some reflective bracelets to wear while running in the dark.  I feel like Wonder Woman when I wear them.

Total Time: 58:13 (8:19/mile) 

This is the first time this winter where the temperature felt bitter cold and the wind certainly wasn't helping.  After a few miles I was able to warm up and felt pretty good.  The last 2 miles were into the wind so my pace slowed a bit but the effort was decent.  I have to do a hard reset on my Garmin but can't remember how.  Can anybody remind how to do this?

Total Time:  1:07:55 (7:33/mile)

Unscheduled day off.  My wife and I are doing some Christmas shopping today so I took the day off work.  Decided that I may as well take the day off from running as well.  With the year winding down, I may cut back on the mileage a little before ramping it back up at the start of the year.
 

It is getting colder every day. . It didn't feel as bad as the other day because by body is starting to acclimate to the cold.  Felt pretty good during the run and was able to hold a decent pace except for the sections where the sidewalks were covered in ice.  The hard reset on my Garmin seemed to do the trick and fixed the history (thanks Cal).  Some personal issues presented themselves last night and I'm not sure how it is going to affect my opportunity to run.  Since running is the one thing that I can control, I am hoping that I can maintain a decent schedule.

Total Time: 59:12 (7:24/mile) 

My son has to be at school early on Friday's so my run ends up being cut short sometimes.  Ran a hillier route just to make the miles count.  Body feels alright and I think that the lower mileage this week has helped.

Total Time: 56:00 (7:47/mile) 

My wife had to work early again today so I couldn't get a full long run in.  Met the South Davis road runners at the rec center.  Ran a little with them then took off on my own.  Ran by the cemetery and cleared the snow off my dad's headstone.  Last 3 miles were at 6:49/mile pace and felt really easy.  I will try to get in a long run tomorrow but am not sure if it will happen.
