More cold and light snow.  The gym visit that was supposed to happen yesterday afternoon happened this morning instead.  Easy 3.5 miles and some lifting.  

I'm still planning on going to Boulder for our group workout at 4:30 today.  Its only 8 degrees and snowing lightly with a little wind.  We'll be freezing but at least there will be a group of us and we can laugh about our insanity together. 

PM Update: Ran with my group in Boulder.  It was only 4 degrees but calm.  Quite pleasant actually.  I dressed warmly and the only part of my body that ever got cold was my face.  I love how well they plow the paths in Boulder.  You may not get the road in front of your house plowed but you can count on the Boulder Creek Path being clear.  Wouldn't want to prevent anyone from being able to run or bike to work or anything.  

20 minute warm-up, stretching, strides.

4X45 seconds steady with 1 minute jog

10 minutes steady with 2 minute jog

4X2:30 steady with 90 second jog

10 minute cool-down

I forgot my Garmin as I left the house to go to the workout but didn't mind because that just meant I didn't have to push any buttons.  Asked Bean how far we went after the workout and she said 8.8.  Close enough, I'm rounding to 9.  Temp was down to 3 when I got back in my car.  It's chilly out there, folks!

I don't think we got above 5 degrees all day yesterday, but props to you for going out running in it. You're a better woman than me, but I knew that already.
