I have been a bad blogger....sorry.

To be honest, my running has been "sporadic" at best the past 10 days with my daughters wedding, Thanksgiving, and many other things.  But...I am back in the groove now.

Now...on to today's run.  It was 18 degrees when I started this morning.  I waited until the sun was up so it was actually fine due to the lack of wind.  I ran 6.51 nice, easy miles rarely looking at my watch, just running by feel.

It was 23 degrees this morning.  It felt colder than yesterday due to the high humidity.  I ran 6.62 easy miles and did not see even 1 other runner....weird.
