9 easy miles.  4 this morning at 5:10 a.m.  Met Elaine for the last mile.  Is she going to commit to running again, we'll see.  5 more tonight at 6:00 p.m., 4 with Gina.  Very easy recovery miles today.

12 mile solo run this morning at 9:30 a.m.  Like two different runs.  Sun with blue skies going up the hill.  Getting cloudy after 5 miles, turned around at 6 miles and headed into a cold north headwind in Pine Canyon.  Progressively colder and cloudier the last half with snow starting with 2 1/2 miles to go.  8:56 pace overall.  Fastest mile 8:08.  Slowest mile 9:38 on the hill.  Not a bad run.
