It was 32 degrees and calm this morning.  I ran 6.12 easy miles and No, I did not die, I have just been a bad blogger these past few weeks.

It was such a nice day (except for the wind) that I decided to get what might be the last shorts run of the season.  It was 61 degrees with winds gusting over 20 when I left around noon.  I needed to pick up a car for someone at the airport so I headed out.  I was against the wind the whole way but the nice temperatures made it OK.

I ran 11.13 easy miles, OK not so easy, but slow due to the wind.

Had to leave early this morning so I ran tonight on the treadmill when I got home.  6 easy miles watching some TV.

It was 31 degrees with a cool breeze this morning.  I ran 6.68 easy miles, 4 of them with Bob.  He was feeling a bit under the weather so the pace was slow.  He didn't skip his run though, he has not missed a day since Christmas 1977!  For you youngsters, Jimmy Carter was the President at that time.

Ran another 3.50 miles on the treadmill tonight when I got home from work.

It was 29 degrees with a wind-chill in the teens this morning.  My face got a bit cold whenever I ran in to the wind.  I ran 8.62 miles and surprisingly saw quite a few other runners.

Ran another 3.50 on the treadmill after work.

It was 30 degrees and snowing this morning.  The streets were a snow/slush mix so my feet were pretty wet when I finished.  I ran 10.54 slow miles.

7.25 miles on the treadmill again this morning.  With the amount of snow we have and the poor road conditions I may be on the treadmill for a while.  We have received over 20" of snow in the last 9 days and nothing has melted at all.
