7.1 miles / 1:00:32 / 8:32 avg. Overcast, a little wind, 38F. Shorts, long sleeve capilene under long sleeve tech shirt from Ogden 1/2 marathon, light gloves, winter cap. From work, dropped a payment off at the bank, (it feels good to run errands on the run), then South around new neighborhoods I've not seen before. At 3.5 miles I stopped at Rosewood park and ran a mile with some striders barefoot on the grass. Definitely too cold for barefoot. With the first 1/4 mile my toes were completely numb. Felt really good though. Awkward trying to get my socks and shoes back onto numb, wet feet. Really pleased with how effortless today's run felt. 8:42, 8:41, 9:02 (uphill in a headwind :-)), 8:34, 8:04, 8:26, 8:17, +.1 @ 8:06 pace.
