Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

After running in 18 degrees a bunch I wasn't looking forward to this morning as it was somewhere between 5 - 10 degrees.  However, with layering it all works.  Enjoyed the stars, even saw one falling star.  Tom and I both seemed to phase off pretty good and just enjoyed the run and the morning. 

When I took my doggy out he wimpered and lagged behind.  He has had a sore back leg on and off for quite a while now.  Not quite sure what it is.  He is a silky terrier and I have been told they are prone to hip problems.  He is now over 9 years old so he may be moving his way into old age.  :(

Tom and I tried the yak trax for part of the run today.  Most of the roads were good but we used them for the trail.  It was nice to go up and enjoy our trail.  I like it there.

When it was 5 degrees outside Tom and I decided to sign up for the Revolution Run at the Olympic Oval.  Today was not 5 degrees but it was windy so I guess it at least got us out of the wind for this run.

We just did a gentle half marathon with no pressure what-so-ever.  That is the nice way to do things. I really don't know what our official time would be but it makes me put something in.   I thought it might seem long doing 48 laps for a 13.1 but it really wasn't that bad.  It was fun to see lots of different shapes, sizes, ages and paces out there all doing their best!  

It was also fun to watch the speed skaters out there practicing.  I talked with one of them afterward.  She said she was a coach and would love to have me come and do it.  I would be very tempted if I lived closer to the oval.  It looked awesome!
