It was another nice day and I have the day off so I decided to do a nice, easy long run.  It was 37 degrees when I left and 57 when I finished.  It was a great morning.  I ran 23.12 miles easy and took an ice bath after.  Now it's time for some yard work before the weather gets worse later this week.

It was 35 degrees, foggy, and I had a new layer of SNOW in my yard this morning.  The streets were just wet, luckily.  I ran 12.41 miles easy.  Longer run tomorrow.

It was 40 degrees and fairly calm this morning.  Barry was having problems with his hamstring again so we decided not to go too long.  We met up with a bunch of other runners in the first mile and ended up running with them and then the groups split again (Barry headed back home) and I was running with a new group.  I was back alone again after 13 and finished the last 4 miles strong.  I ran 17.61 miles and this was so far my best mileage week of the year.
