Felt quite a bit of fatigue left over from the workout on Saturday and many late nights of games and fun with family in town for the holidays.

I love winter. I waited most of the day to run hoping the 30mph sustained winds would die down...they didn't. Gusts were above 60. Temps were reasonably mild though and I didn't need the jacket or stocking cap I brought along.

Most of the miles were on bark trails which was very gentle on the legs and kept me in the trees somewhat protected from the wind. It was a beautiful afternoon to run. It was me, the wind and the deer.

Easy 10 miles through the neighborhood. Incredibly, there was no rain or wind for the entirety of my run.

A lovely, dry evening run. Big storm tomorrow though. Not looking forward to high winds and pouring rain but that's the life of a runner.

Snuck in 10 miles during a break in the weather. Almost avoided the rain altogether. The last three miles were a soaker but I did find a new place for me to run near work called the Redmond Watershed. I've great things about it and can't wait to explore the miles of trails.

5 mile warmup at 6:40 pace then four miles around the track in cutdown format. Mile 1 at 5:18, Mile 2 at 5:06, Mile 3 at 5:02 and the last mile at 5:01. I was supposed to go 5:14, 5:06, 4:58 and 4:50. It was pretty blustery out and going fast early didn't help so I missed the last mile badly.

I then ran a 4.3 mile cool down. It rained, snowed and was sunny during that 4.3 miles. Crazy weather.
