AM- 4.5 miles in a fairly heavy snow storm this morning before we headed to the airport.  Had 10 inches of snow with more coming down.  The strap on spikes for my running shoes that I bought last time we were here have been pretty helpful- never slipped even once on the snow and ice.  

No run - super early rescheduled flight due to weather kept me from getting out today.

AM -  5 miles with Dan and Finn on the Milton Trail - cold here but relatively speaking to the temps in Vermont at 25 degrees this morning - not too bad.  Good to get out with Finn and have some conversation with Dan.

AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs - much of it on the WC Golf Course.  

AM - 4 miles with Dan and Finn in the neighborhood very early as I had a meeting in the office.  Very cold this morning as well - but not quite as cold as Vermont on the weekend. 

AM - just under 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn from Dan's house.  Temps in the mid teens today - but I think the handwarmers were the missing link in my cold weather gear up until a few weeks ago.   Now, I really have very little discomfort running in cold weather.  Good merino wool gear and tights with a windbreaker if it is breezy - and with the hand warmers I really don't mind it at all.  Dan did not initially want to go out today but was glad that he did - though he was not dressed well enough and his hands were freezing :). 

AM - 9.25 miles with the group of 8 minus Dan from Summit Hill Elementary.  I started before everyone as I needed to be home earlier than previously expected - so Finn and I did about 3 miles and then ran back to the school to meet everyone else.   Cold again in low 20's but not much wind.  Finn seemed a little bit "off" today but maintained.  Pace was honest at between 8 and 8:30 and coversation was good.   I split off on Wood before the bridge and made it home on time.   Would have liked another few miles - several ended up with 12+ for the day - with Ben extending his run to 18 in his Boston training.
