14 miles in 2:03:24, 8:48 overall average pace.  8:00 a.m. with Tina.  Sunny day, but still a bit cold starting out at 30 degrees.  Ran the perimeter loop, Droubay Rd. on the east, Pine Canyon Rd. over through Overlake and up Coleman on the west, back down to Tina's and returning home via 100 West.  Back okay while running, but sure tightens up when I stop.  43 mile week.
