Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
11.00	3.02	14.02

Had outfits ready last night before bed for TM run at the rec or outdoor run. Chose the outdoors. SO glad. Left at 7 AM. Had a very nice run. Wore a pink neck warmer that I had to take on and off a few times but as the wind and snow drifts picked up I left it on for the last 5 miles. I wore my grey 80s pullover around my waist for most of the run. Put it back on once, briefly, when there was a wind chill freezing my sweat on my arms. That helped warm things up nicely. Felt pretty good the entire run even though it was less than 20 degrees. My body seems to be adjusting to it. The inversion hasn't seemed to bother me lung-wise. It is pretty thick currently. As long as there is no perfume and cologne or detergents blowing on me I am fine in practically any weather outside (except SG in the 90s). First mile my usual warm up pace 9:05. Last three miles felt easy but I put them as fast because they were under a 7:30 pace--- 7:23, 7:16, 7:09. Actually the plan was to run 12 miles and again I found myself further from home then getting back there for 12. What's new? Just running like myself again so I will go with it. AP for 14.02 (I need every little .02s I can get on my way to reach 3,000 miles for the year, OH YAH!!, gonna HAPPEN!!) was an easy 7:59 AP. : D.

Nice AP!! And excellent miles for today and for the year! I was so close to 2000 for the year, but alas an injury and a pregnancy prevented that. Oh well, there are many years to come!

Julie you are my hero. You are running so well lately and I am so very happy for you. Nothing under 7:30 ever feels "easy" to me. Nice work!!

Rachelle, I met a friend of yours today at the rec...oops her name?? well she makes the headbands (active bands) that are so sweet!! and her sister is in my ward. She knew about you and your speediness at Alpine 1/2. She told me you were a pacer at Painters this year. Yay!! we get to see each other there!!! what time are you pacing?
