It was 28 degrees with some wind this morning.  I ran 8.54 miles in my special shoes with the hex bolts in the bottom.  It was tough footing today with all the new snow from the weekend.

It was about 40 degrees and windy again this morning.  The streets are sloppy in spots where there is still a lot of snow melt.  I ran 8.57 miles.

It was 35 degrees outside but the light winds were enough to freeze all the water on the roads so there were definitely some real slick spots, even some black ice.  I ran 11.16 miles because I had some extra time this morning.  I worked 65+ hours last week so I am pretty drained and needed some R&R time.  A longer run was just the trick :)

It was 20 degrees and overcast/fog this morning.  I did not have to work today so I slept in a bit and did not start until after 8am.  I ran in to Kory and Barry as they were finishing-up their 10 mile run and talked to them for a bit.  If I would have checked my blog I would have met them for the run...oh well.  Because I had I extra time I ran 15.28 miles....longest run in a while and it felt good.
