5 TM miles in 46:37.  Easy running.  Progression to 8:30 pace.  .5% to 4% incline.  Should have checked the temperature before the run.  I think we were all the way up to 15 degrees.  I could have hit the streets.  Owell.  See what tomorrow brings.  Supposed to be warming up to a balmy 39 by Saturday!

5 miles at 5:00 a.m.  Out on the roads.  20 degrees, a veritable heat-wave.  Easy run this morning, with some pick ups the last half.  Still icy spots for the first and last quarter mile of the run near my house as well as the frozen tundra on the gravel road for about 1/2 mile approaching the turn-around at the rim of the canyon.  Felt good to be off the TM!

5 very easy miles at 5:00 a.m.  Nearly 10 degrees warmer at 30 degrees.  Felt a bit sluggish.  Snow was predicted overnight, but we got very little.  The streets were good other than on the gravel road near the gate.  10 miles scheduled for Saturday morning with Tina.....on the hills again!
