It was pretty cool today so I went for a longer run in the afternoon.  I ran to Wal-Mart and back on the back roads.  It was a nice run and the longest I have gone in a while.  Total time was 50:34 (7:32/mile).

We traveled to Omaha to visit family yesterday, and I got out for a nice run this morning.  I enjoyed the abundant oxygen at an elevation 6000 ft below what I am used to, but the air was almost too thick with the humidity.  There was also too much pressure.  Other than that it was a great run.  It was nice to be back in the midwest.  Total time was 42:01 (7:38/mile).

Started out with Symphany in the stroller, but it was really windy and cold.  The poor little girl was wrapped in a blanket, but she was still cold.  She usually loves going running with me, but she wanted to turn around.  I wanted to get out later in the day, but it didn't happen.

A nice run with S in the jogging stroller.  It was much warmer than the last time.  We stopped at the park on the way back for a little bit.  Total time was 32:47 (8:11/mile) for 4 miles.

The city in their infinite wisdom decided to repave our street today so it was closed from 7am to 7pm.  I couldn't drive to school so I walked with a little bit of running.  I also walked/ran home.  All together it was about 1.5 miles with my backpack and lunch box.  I much prefer running without any extra weight.

A nice run.  I did the extended parking lot/stake center loop.  There were a lot of people out tailgating before the big game.  Big surprise that Wyoming lost.  Total time was 35:01 (7:46/mile).
