Okay this started out as a 4 miler than as I got to the mile at 9:00 thinking truly that it was like a 10 to 1030 pace I was like I guess I feel better than I thought so I just picked it up from there and decided to loop here and there as the high winds and pelting snow began to fall around 2.5 miles.  Woman VS. Wild.  I was determined to be stronger than the storm and I truly felt really strong even with the head and side winds up hill I had a pace of 8:11.  By the end of my 6.7 mile run it was torrential.  Pace 7:55 for average.  I thought why am I stopping.   I did for thirty minutes and thought why not go out and see what its like to break 60 miles in a week.  The snow had stopped the wind was still fierce and the temp had dropped and my sweat had already cooled me but again I was not going to let that stop me.  I just kept winding here and there picking up the pace feeling again very strong.  Last mileage was 5.54 miles with average of 7:49.  Total miles 12.24 @ 7:52 pace.  Worked last night slept four hours from 730am to 1130 am.  Work tonight.  Big turkey dinner happening at my house tomorrow with my mom, sister and her husband and 7 kids.  So much for a day of rest.  I think I made 60 miles here goes the submit button to see, cross fingers   : D>

AWESOME WOMAN beating out the WILD! That snow storm was funky wild! You're TOUGH!

Have a fun turkey dinner. I get to do a b'day dinner for my mother-in-law and hubby tomorrow (13 people, mostly hungry young men!). But I don't have to work tonight. You're amazing!
