Early miles on my own and having to break out the winter gear.  Crazy to think last week I was wearing shorts and t-shirts.   I ended up doing a progressive tempo for 4 miles:  8:24, 8:09, 7:57, 7:32.  

Avg Pace 8:22

Jenny and I agreed to run together on Christmas Day, but that was before we knew how bad the weather was going to be.   We ended up with snow today and temps of 29 degrees but with a wind chill making it feel like 15.   We braved the elements, which were not so bad, and headed out.  We ended up with 4 miles and called it because it was starting to get icy.   Once home, I changed clothes and then headed up to my treadmill for 4 more miles and another failed attempt at speedwork.   I know that I am not running enough to do speedwork and that the more I run it will get easier, so I am trying not to worry too much.   

Merry Christmas!

Another chilly morning - 26 degrees.   I did almost the same route as Monday, just did not head as far south.   3 miles warming up and then on/off for the next three - using intersections as the switch point.  Each segment was not equal but some good pushing along the way.  1 mile cool down and then done.

The temp read 41 degrees but with wind and a foggy mist, it felt much colder.   6 easy miles with Jenny, uneventful and unexciting.

Met Ashley and Wendy at the store to run with the group.   We ended up running out on the trail, up Hidden Hill and then back down Bailey.   Ended up with miles and felt great the entire time....other than the fact it was cold.  Just before the hill, there is a section of the train that is always colder and for that half mile (out & back) my hands froze.
