I got the last pair of 1140s in my size on the internet (that are also under $50) in the mail, along with the next year's version (still outdated, and also less than $50).  Pretty happy about that.

Temp was about 26F, but very little wind again.  Did my 8-mile loop, AP 7:47.  I'm thinking about doing some HM goal pace tempo work tomorrow in my 12-miler.

I love a good bargain! Good pace. I don't know when you updated your short-term goals, but they look good! But your goal time for the 10K is not ambitious enough :)

Sweet! I am always thrilled to get a pair of running shoes for $50 or less!

Good deal on the shoes. I can't ever find shoes for that price. Nice job.

Isn't it supposed to be pretty warm down there? It's like we've switched weather with you. Up here in Ogden, it was 51 degrees. It was so nice being outside today.

Thanks Tracy, the 10k I'm looking at isn't until April so I'm hoping you're right!

April - what did people ever do before the internet?

Dale - yep, we're gonna be in the 70s this afternoon...pretty soon I'll be complaining about heat instead. Always something to complain about.
