It was 47 degrees with some light winds this morning.  I ran 10.61 miles and felt pretty slow about it.  Just didn't sleep well last night.....but I got it done.  When I got home I sprayed the weeds in my front yard.  Must mean it really IS spring!!!

I needed to be in Rexburg very early this morning to install the new computer system for the 2nd window we installed in the restaurant.  No run this morning.

It was 24 degrees on the Buckskin saddle this morning.  Barry and Liza started with me and it was going just fine.  They said they would go 18 or so and I would get a ride back with Liza's husband as they figured I would be ahead of them and they would pick me up on the way back to town.  They bailed on me after 15 miles.  Luckily I had a back-up plan.  I called Sue after 19 miles and had her pick me up at Century High school.  The last 7 miles I had a pretty stiff headwind, especially through the gap.  I ran 22.14 miles and finished pretty strong.
