     35 degrees this morning with a lot of wind and rain. Halfway through the run it turned to snow with large wet flakes. It wouldn't have been bad if it wasn't for the driving north wind. It was hard to see while running directly into it. I was completely soaked. My hamstring and hip both felt good so that is a good sign. 8 miles at 7:58 AP.

     Woke up with a funny little pain in my back and hip yesterday so I didn't run. It was still sore this morning but felt better this afternoon so I went for an easy 6 mile run. 8:33 AP.

     25deg with a few scattered snow flakes this morning with no wind. I went in to the track and ran 2 miles at 7:48 pace then ran 5x1000 with 400 recovery. Averaged about 6:12 pace on the intervals. I wasn't running real hard but it felt harder than it should to maintain that pace. Ran another 1.5 cool down. Everything felt good this morning.

     My parents came up and we went up into the mountains and cut our Christmas trees. I got out for 5 miles easy after dark.
