First hope you all didn't miss the Lunar Eclipse this morning.  Aubrey pointed it out as she heard about it from the news last night.  And sure enough the moon was almost halfway covered as we started out on our run and at precisely 7:05-- the Eclipse!!!  Pretty cool!! None of us had a camera though.  My cell phone was frozen when I got back from the run so it wouldn't have helped either.  This was coldest run of the year so far.  Josse and I drove to Spanish Fork to meet Aubrey and McKenzie for a long run at 6am.  FREAK out.....so very cold.  17 degrees but feels like 8 (due to humidity).  My feet were numb for the first two miles.  My thighs never quite unthawed so they were super tight.  Aerobically it all felt easy but I was ridiculously stiff as a board.  I lagged behind a couple times but not far...but then finished with a quicker last mile.  I had my garmin in overall time mode so I didn't know our pace untiil mile beeps.  I was surprised we could even move below 8 mm pace in this freezer weather.  AP for 16.15 miles = 7:51.  I was on my own for my last mile as the others were only running 15.  I was going for that 70 mile week.  Since my foot is miraculously healed from the steroid shot I am feeling more and more like my winter running high mileage self.....will cut back come Jan. 1st before Boston Marathon training.  No time goal for Boston just yet.  It all depends on how I feel.

See, now I went outside at 7:10 and it was GONE! No moon in sight. I was SO mad. I thought maybe the news meant 6 or something :( stink.

Nice run though! A sub 8 pace for a long run in freezing cold = awesomeness!!

it was gone because it was being blocked : D so in essence you "saw" it : D

Nice run Julie. I think you are right about that if the goal is Boston - you want to start feeling that "fire" after new years. Glad your foot is feeling better.

So funny cause I had no idea there was an eclipse, but I kept looking at the moon wondering what the heck was happening, cause it was pretty much a full moon when I started running, and by the time I was done it was covered! Nice run, glad you're feeling better :)

Sounds like a very cool run. I am so glad that you are starting to feel better with the miracle steroid shot! Awesome. Hopefully, there is no return of the issue and you can keep up those big emotionally stabilizing miles. ;)
