YES!!! 5 miles, 5:45 A.M., 14 - 16 degrees! Tom and I bundled up for an early morning run today. I don't usually go at that time, but knew that I wouldn't have another moment the rest of the day to get a run in. In fact, I am barely going to have this minute to write. I thought of the positives and negatives of this morning's run. Negatives first....early, dark, cold, a good stretch of nasty cold wind. Positives....it was early, but I couldn't sleep anyway. It was dark, but that made it so we could see the beautiful stars in the sky. (including 2 shooting stars to wish on!). It was cold outside, but I have a running husband who has made sure I have all the greatest cold weather gear to keep me nice and warm! I got the gold on a day that was almost too busy for even a bronze. I averaged a 10:30 pace. And last but not least, got to start the day with some great quality time with Tom!
