It was 20 degrees with winds 15-20 this morning.  Wind chill around 5 degrees.  We had fresh snow and it was still snowing lightly.  I ran 8.52 miles and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be  You can tell it is the holiday season as almost everyone driving by had a nice smile and a wave today.  Or maybe they are just being nice to the obviously crazy person running in the snow :)

It was 16 degrees with light winds this morning.  I ran 8.63 miles easy and had to go fairly early as I had to get some last minute stuff done at work.  I am so glad I went early because a little before 8:00am a large group of runners I know stopped by my house singing Christmas carols.  It was AWESOME.  They were all wearing lights and santa hats and were running to different people they know singing to them.  Runners are great people.

It was 13 degrees when I left this morning.  I waited until the sun came out and I could see frozen ice crystals in the air when I was looking towards the sun.  I ran 8.57 miles with 5 really nice pick-up miles (almost MP) so I felt good about the run.
