Thansk to Sasha for fixing my post yesterday. I was posting in February, and didn't realize it. I couldn't figure out why my mileage wasn't showing up on the mileage board.   It was a definite moment of brilliance on my part! 

 

I was so cold this morning.  I wore my USA tights (or my superhero tights as my son calls them) which are a very thin material.  My legs never properly warmed up.   I'm glad I was only running five miles this morning!  

I ran out to 4800S and linked onto the River Trail.  It was even colder by the water, and everything was covered in a thin layer of frost.   I thought the scenery was very pretty, but very icy!   I left the trail at Mill Race park, and ran up through the Taylorsville High parking lot, where I played an exciting game of Chicken with the high school drivers arriving at school.  I waved to my brother in law who was dropping off my nephew.  (He was not one of the cars that I played Chicken with.)  I finished with a jaunt through the neighborhood to my house.   

I am excited for less frigid mornings.  Of course, a couple months ago, 36 degrees would be considered balmy weather.  I guess it's all relative!
