AM - 21 miles. Woke up to quite a bit more snow than I expected would come down last night! About 6-8 inches up on the bench where we started. Met up with the subset of our long run group that was willing to get out in the elements - down from 30+ last week to only 7 today: Fritz, Kevin, Collin, Matt, Brandon, and Mike. Kept the pace easier today because the roads were really slushy and there wasn't much of a shoulder. It was a lot of fun just to get in a nice relaxed long run w/ the guys. Average ~6:50 pace and no one fell or got hit by a car... so a very successful morning. Brandon tried to string out the group w/ a little surge late in the run but no one took the bait :-)  I'm really impressed by how well everyone is running.

Andrea, Amiee, Allie, and James were kind enough to have a great hot breakfast prepared for all of us when we finished down at our place.

Fun morning... I'm definitely looking forward to 10 days of running in Phoenix over the holidays, though :-)

PM - 4.5 miles. Had to take Andrea out to play in the snow. We ran 2 laps around the horsepark and then I ran home from there. 

Tomorrow we're running from Highland High School at 8:30am, if anyone wants to join.

Looks delicious!

My group stayed out west today, because our benches had a lot of snow too. But, I'm glad you guys avoided any slips. Nice run.

Fun! Great pics too. I just didn't want to be the slow guy in front holding you guys back on that little downhill stretch. Thanks for humoring me ;).

Thanks for the run and the excellent breakfast! These group long runs are always fun. And great miles this week -- nice job!

Looks like you guys had a blast. It's really cool to see so many folks putting in the miles at this time of year--it's going to pay off big time in the spring.

Ahh, you guys with your "relaxed" 6:50s...what a crew! I'm going to stop posing for pictures too, maybe it will help.

Nice week, Jake.
