6.2 miles @ 9:56/mi.  Murdock trail north with Kevin

My first run in several weeks. Temps in the teens. I felt sluggish, but was glad to get out again and enjoyed Kevin's company.

I've been playing basketball a couple of times a week, but the cold, ice, snow, bad road conditions, bad air, the holidays, late nights...and laziness...led to frequent decisions to stay in bed and cuddle up to Karen a little longer. I honestly don't regret it too much.
