Temp was 60ish and misty. We are actually under a winter storm watch! The weather guys always get so excited when the first snow of the year is on the horizon.  Bayly and I enjoyed our run. It was up tempo and nice to go at our own pace. The corn is already off on our usual route so we don't have to worry about semi trucks and combines.

Saturday was a great day! The weather was perfect. The girls were relaxed and ran great! They placed 5th and our first runner was All State. It was her first year, she is very quiet and a hard worker. She knows how to run a smart race and doesn't get caught up in the race and pace. She just runs her race and has done an awesome job this year. It was a great end to the season. :) And ended just in time by the looks of the weather. 

Wind was blowing 40-50 miles an hour. Rain was horizontal. So I chose the treadmill. 5 miles at 8:40 pace. 

Wind is still howling. Rain is still horizontal.  At least it stayed warm enough we did not get snow. Tara said Bismarck is a winter wonderland. Oh joy. Sounds like this storm system was nasty all across the country. Our weather guys said if it had been over the ocean it would have been a category 3 hurricane. Ugh. 

Treadmill @ 8:40 pace. Picked it up on the last mile to 8:00 pace.  

Wonderful evening. Temp 45. No wind! Yes, thats right, no wind! Did I mention, no wind!? Nice easy run just so I could stay out and enjoy the evening. Lots of fresh water in the ditch so Bayly splashed and played the whole run. We got home, she ate supper, had a chewy for dessert and barked at the neighbors. Ahhh. It's a dogs life. :) 

Temp: upper 30's, stiff north breeze. Broke out the Loki. Felt good, ran about 9:00 min. pace. Have to enjoy the weather, in a few weeks I'll be wishing for a day like this.
