7:15am:  I ran later today because it is my day off. It was 25 degrees this morning but mostly no wind.  I ran the first 8 plus miles as a tempo run then dialed it down the last 7-8.  Legs feeling really good.  I ran 16.15 miles on my standard Chubbuck, ISU, then Satterfield loop.

It looks like my best friend from Idaho Falls is going to go to Tucson with me next month.  I still have room for 1 more in my condo if someone wants to split costs and save money.

 I going to spend the rest of the day doing yardwork and putting up the Christmas lights since it is supposed to be in the upper 50's today and who knows how many nice days we have left.

6:30am:  26 degrees this morning.  I was really tired when I got up this morning from all the outside work I did yesterday.  I did not really wake up until mile 6 or 7.  I ran 10.42 miles nice and slow as a recovery run.

6:45am:  Planned for a nice, easy run today.  The temp was 29 degrees, BUT the wind was blowing anywhere from 20-35 mph and it was COLD!!!  Whenever I would run in to the wind my face would go numb and then it would thaw out when I changed directions.  There was definitely a winter feel this morning.  I ran 8.32 miles in an easy pace.

8:30am:  It was 20 degrees this morning but the winds were light and I waited until the sun was out.  I had a great run today.  I ran 8 miles as a tempo run and had great splits (all under 7:00).  The other 7+ miles I took it easy.  My legs are feeling really good and I tapered back to 75 miles this week from last weeks 102.  Next week should be 55-60.  15 days until Tucson!!!
