Very cool today (42) and pretty windy.  Felt pretty good today on just an easy run.  Glad to get in 5 days of running this week.  It has been awhile since I have done this.  Hope I can make this more the norm.

It was warm today (52) but very windy.  A cold front is moving in so things will definitely change over the next few days.  Felt good today.  Ran about a mile at around 7:20 pace.  I have done anything but run easy for a long time so need to start mixing it up again.

It was very cold out today for this time of year (25) and windy.  I'm not really ready for this weather so ran on the TM today.  Felt good and just ran easy.

It was really cold this morning so ran inside on the TM.  Wife's family is visiting so didn't have a lot of time so cut it short today.  Had some tightness/pain in left hip so just ran easy.

Another cold and snowy morning so ran on the TM.  I have cracked the deck on the TM so it is difficult to run on and I think it is causing some pain in the hip because of the way my foot is landing.  Now looking for a new TM.  Had to cut the run short because I didn't want to mess up my hip any more.

A little warmer today but still cold and very windy for this time of year.  Glad to get a few miles in outside today but wind made it tough going.  Hopeing for a break in this weather.

Nasty rainy day outside so ran inside on my new TM.  Much better than the old one and glad to have the option of running inside on days like today.  Felt pretty good today but just ran easy.

Cold day out this morning and very windy.  Ran on the TM and felt good.  New TM is working out good.  Still not crazy about the TM but glad I have the option on days like today.

Ran the Drumstick Dash with my daughter.  It was cold (26) and snowing but we had a great time.  She has not been running lately because of college but did a great job.  We just crusied along between 9:30 and 10:00 pace.  It was great getting out with her before having Thanksgiving at the house.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Beautiful morning today (58) with some light wind.  Was able to get in a quick run before church.  Nice to be out in shorts and short sleeves this time of year.
