It was 27 degrees, overcast, with light winds this morning.  I ran the same route as yesterday.  It is harder than what I used to do but I am starting to like it.  Total 9.13 miles.

It was 11 degrees with some spots of very cold wind this morning...especially the 20mph winds right in my face coming up Satterfield hill.  I ran 9.26 miles and managed to not freeze...

It was 1 degree outside with enough wind to make the wind chill 10-below so I decided to go treadmill today.  6.00 boring miles.

It was 7 degrees when I started, but since I was able to run a bit later it was actually light out and got a little warmer during the run.  It warmed up to a balmy 14 by the time I was finished but it felt good due to the lack of wind and the sun shining nicely.  I caught up to Bob on the trail above Satterfield around mile 7 and ran the rest with him.
