I felt a lot better today than I have in a long time. I've been going through junk food detox since the holidays, so I'm trying to gain back a little fitness I lost. I've lost about 3 1/2 pounds in the last week in a half, so I'm headed in the right direction.

Did an easy 8 miles this morning with the dog. My average pace per mile was 7:49, nothing to brag about. I think I'll spend a few weeks just getting used to running everyday again, before I start working on the speed.

After the eight miler, I went out with my wife. She's to the point in her pregnancy that running is pretty uncomfortable, so she walks instead. I did 3 extra miles with her after my run. We weren't running, so I don't feel right about counting it as part of my weekly mileage.

Had some out of town work related training I had to do this morning, so I ended up having to run a lot earlier. I ran 8 miles at 5:00am, I was proud of myself.

Another 8 miles. I went out a little later today, got a little extra sleep. I felt pretty good, picked up the pace a little towards the end.

Wow,  Sweet updates, too bad there's no spell check for people like me. 

Another 8 miler.  It was a little warmer today, "the warm before the storm".  The head wind coming back was a killer.  Nothing too unusual or exciting to report about my run.  I'm am starting to feel a little lighter on my feet.  I'm slowly shedding off the holiday pounds.

4 miles in a snow blizzard after dark.  I was happy I went out, even if I didn't get in the whole 8.

Went to the  in-laws for the weekend in Antimony, it's always colder there than anywhere else.  It's about 6800 ft in elevation, so it always makes for a cold and challenging run.  I was happy with todays run, because it  meant that I ran everyday this week for the first time in awhile. 

It was so cold, that the sweat coming from underneath my winter hat, froze and stuck to my head all the way around.  When my nose finally started to defrost, it hurt for  awhile.  It was -8 degrees below 0!!!!  I guess if I can run in that, I can run in anything.  It did give me a little headache and slow me down a little, but everything else went well.
