It was cold and nasty outside and I did not feel really well so I decided to run on the treadmill today.  I ran 6.25 miles and different aches bubbled-up from Saturday's race and then just melted away.  It felt good to get moving again.

It was 26 degrees this morning......GRRRR.  I sucked it up and put on my tights and stocking cap.  I ran 8.11 miles nice and easy.  I certainly hope the weather gets a little better before winter really sets in.  I don't want to run in all this extra stuff for 6+ months.

It was 30 degrees this morning.  Still feels cold to me.  I ran 8.22 miles but my lower right leg was giving me fits off and on.  My calf and around to my shin felt "iffy" and sometimes it felt like my lower leg wanted to just fold-up.  Must be still recovering from Saturday.

It was a brisk 25 degrees this morning but at least I was able to run after it was light outside since I have the day off.  I ran 10.41 miles and had some surprisingly fast miles after I was warmed up.  My legs still feel less than 100% but at least I was faster today.

I fly to San Antonio at 6:00am tomorrow for 5 days for meetings.  Looks like the last hurrah for running in shorts......  I better enjoy it!
