Sometimes I have to question my sanity.  Today was one of those days.  Met Cody at ~6:30 pm for a run.  The temp was -2 deg, windchill was -13 deg F.  Cold.  Did his young ward 10 mile loop.  7:01 average for the whole thing.  Good run, and it was nice to have company.  First run with anyone from Logan in a month.

I gave blood at lunch today, so knew I wouldn't be up for much of a workout.  Only had ~30 minutes, so I ran planetwalk plus a bit for 4.5 miles.  4 degrees when I started, and that was when it was still light.  Gonna be cold tonight.  No time, but I did glance at my watch for a 7:15 split for mile 2.  I was lightheaded by the end a bit, so hopefully my blood comes back fast for a long run tomorrow.

Ran 3 miles, then met Cody at his house. Did his 5 mile route (7:20 avg), then ran 4 more miles by myself. It was noticeably colder once the sun went down- I had ice/frost on the inside of my jacket sleeves by the time I got home. Still felt rather fatigued from giving blood yesterday.

9 miles.  Felt kind of... blah.  No energy, but did it ~68-69 minutes.

Relavite heat wave- 23 degrees.  And sunny, which I am definitely not used to.  Ran to Cody's house, then ran 12 miles with him mostly on the TOU course.  Saw Paul and Stacy.  Averaged ~7:00 pace on the way out.  I was rather tired by the turnaround.  Felt better on the way coming back.  I was definitely more tired than Cody yet I spent the whole time blabbing and he spent the whole time wishing I would be quiet.  We slowed down a bit on the way back, but then Cody pulled a Sasha and gradually picked up the pace on me until we were sub-6:50 pace.  Dropped him off and ran home plus a bit more to get me to 15 miles.  Tired by the end.  7:04 average for the 12 miles with Cody, slower without.  1:54 for the whole run.
