Very cold day again.  I am getting a little tired of this super cold stuff, it really kills my motivation to do much when I am always frozen.

I did a loop from my sister's house again after school.  This time I ran down passed the Rec Center and the cemetery.  I found a road that was like an old highway with hardly any traffic around 100 west and followed it all the way into Highland to the Highland  highway.  I ran east from there toward AF canyon and turned on the Alpine highway.  I follow that back into AF, and back to Becki's house.  It was a good loop and had some good hills in it.  The traffic was minimal except when I hit the two highways, but they each have two bike lanes so I had plenty of good space to run.  The run seemed like it took forever, probably because it was so darn cold!  I ran a good pace and felt good, especially toward the end, but it seemed like it was 20 miles instead of 10 miles.  I am glad to be done on another super cold night, and am finally warm after a long shower and a couple cups of hot chocolate.  1:09:03

James, I am with you on the darn cold weather. This running a 5 degrees tests our will as runners.

I agree, too. Yesterday was below zero for me, and today was 4 deg.

How's living in AF? Watch out for the hicks they drive crazy like. I don't know what you are talking about the freezing cold temps are soooo enjoyable to run in and I think they make you lightening fast;)

Well, I don't know yet because I have only been here for three days. There are crazy hick drivers everywhere in Utah, so I am used to that.
