27F, N 20-25 mph.  7:46 AP.  Sideways snow for the last 4 miles, my favorite.  Of course, I ran on my east/west road but the blowing snow made the right half of my face numb on the way back...ouch!  My eyeballs took hundreds of direct hits.

I was going to do some short time trials today, but the snow/ice never melted off the track.  It's one thing to clomp through/around it in a tempo, but another to all-out sprint through it.  I'll try next week.

Saw 2 brown foxes and an instruction book for a one-step pregnancy test while on the road today.  Someone really wanted to know!

Your're making me feel bad. I'm not nearly dedicated enought to run in weather like that. You're the MAN!

From Jason D on Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 11:26:32 from 24.1.80.94

Perhaps the foxes left it?

From SlowJoe on Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 11:46:25 from 69.131.141.92

No Jason, not THOSE kind of foxes.

Wow. You guys up north are troopers. I vow to never complain about weather again.

If there were such a thing as a "runner's scavenger hunt", with unusual sights to be checked off, as you pass them, I think you would be today's winner.

Wow.... you are getting closer and closer to becoming an Idaho runner....Still waiting to hear about that creepy looking Santa in the profile pic...

From SlowJoe on Sat, Dec 29, 2012 at 12:30:32 from 69.131.141.92

Tom - hmm, I think that's the first time anyone's ever referred to me as living "up north." It's all relative I guess!

Rye - after we took the picture, we ate the cow.
