It was 32 degrees this morning...BRRRR.  I ran 13.29 miles with 7 good tempo miles in the middle.  Not liking these temps.  I am not used to them yet and I don't WANT to be used to them yet.

It was 38 degrees this morning.  It was a little better and unfortunately I am getting used to it.  I ran 11.12 miles and felt pretty good.

I decided I needed to do some running in warmer temperatures to stay ready for St. George in 10 days because I am acclimating to cooler ones already.  I ran 5.14 miles tonight after work.  It was 83 degrees when I left but there was a breeze so it wasn't too bad.

It was 44 degrees this morning, absolutely gorgeous.  I ran 10.11 miles in a decent pace.  With the doubles I have been running I am a bit more tired but I seem to be more flexible.  Is that normal?

Evening.  I decided to pack some running clothes so I could get my run in before it got too late.  I stopped in Blackfoot on my way home and did my run on the greenbelt that starts at Jensen Grove.  It was 82 degrees and I ran 5.13 miles in a nice pace.
