AM: To 18th street to the Baptist church and back - 8.1 miles w/ several strides, averaged 7:53

Strides made a few miles dip to marathon pace. 35 degree = hat, gloves, winter-weight socks, and baselayer. Got a little warm once I was coming back, but I didn't want to die on the first sub-40 run since . . . hemmm April? Maybe earlier in the year.

PM: My original loop of 1.5 miles, followed by most of Old Standby - 6.25 miles, averaged 7:50

Wow, 35 - I'm jealous. Pretty soon you'll be heading out into 35 degree weather in shorts and a singlet.

I was a bit overdressed, but it wasn't too bad. You never know how the first cold one is going to be! On a 55 degree long run I went shirtless because I figured after 2.5 hours I would be soaked. I saw an older guy plodding along in a long sleeve and a winter hat. Boy, did I feel silly!
