Ran 5.25 miles this morning. 13:05   11:08   10:59    11:42    12:08

It was cold and dark out this morning. I ran at 6:30.   It was easier to run because of altitude (lack of), but not easy to see where I was going - so I was slow. I found a trail along the freeway and ran on it - but had to try and watch for potholes and broken branches and my headlamp wasn't too bright in the darkness (plus I was a bit worried about boogey men). I was glad to find the bike trail because there are no sidewalks or shoulders on the road and I was having to hop off of the curbs onto grass as each car came.

The run out was pretty nice, when I headed back - I ran into a nasty headwind (kind of like St. George).  It was 33 degrees out - but about 24 with windchill.  (My boss thinks I am nuts).

The puppies were just born!  Yorkies.  1 boy and 3 girls.

What kind of puppies?? My husband is puppy hungry, as opposed to my baby hungry.

Awesome job for working out while out of town. That is not an easy task at all.
