| I headed out into the cold alone this morning. About a mile out, my right foot suddenly started hurting. So much so that I stopped, walked carefully for a bit, and did some light stretching. It started feeling a little better, but rather than continue farther from home I turned around and headed back towards home. After 1/4 mile or so it was feeling fine so instead of continuing home I began to wander some of the streets west of my neighborhood. As I was heading north on 280 W I saw a dog that looked like Larry's dog Ozzie...then I saw Larry. He had come out about 20 minutes after me and decided to run the route backwards in hopes of meeting up with "us", which ended up just being me. We ran together for a bit but his GI tract was acting up so we headed home. This morning's run didn't go at all as planned, but I got my 4 miles in, got to talk to Larry for a while, and finished with no foot pain so it was all good. |

| I went at 5:45am to meet the guys, but it appeared I was going to run alone again. It was almost 20 degrees, but there was a frigid wind that seemed to cut right through me. I jogged back to my house to add a fleece vest to my wardrobe. Just as I was coming back out I saw Kevin and Dash dash my. I shouted to Kevin and he waited for me to join him. We were both dressed warmly, but our faces got pretty cold from the frigid wind. We managed to average 8:41/mi pace. |

It was, as they say, "stupid cold" the past couple of days. As cold as Kevin and I got when it was 20° with a cold wind, I couldn't bring myself to go out when it was 1° to 8° and breezy. My hat's off to those of you who toughed it out...but I hope your hats were on snug and warm. This morning I ended up alone again. I ran 6.2 instead of 4 miles to make up a little for not running the last two days. Average pace 9:42/mi. |

| I got out with Larry and Wayne this morning. It was great having company. It was nice having the temperature at 30°. There was a covering of newly fallen snow that was very sticky. Just walking over to meet them I had snow caked an inch thick on bottoms of my shoes. During the run I made it a point to try to run in car tracks. Even then, I still had to drag my feet on dry spots occasionally to get the caked snow off. It seemed so natural running with Larry and Wayne this morning. We didn't even talk about where to run or at what pace. We just started running and talking, enjoyed our activity and interaction, and found ourselves back where we started. What a blessing good running buddies are. |
