After 3 months of almost no running, I ran 2 miles this morning. It was cold at only 7 degrees, but at least there was no wind. I felt okay, but I could definitely tell it had been a few months. Total time was 17:15 (8:38/mile).

Another 2 miles today. I was a bit sore from yesterday, but I felt better. It was warmer today, but windier than yesterday. Total time was 16:55 (8:28), so it was a little bit faster than yesterday. They're forecasting 6-12 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow with highs in the single digits after the storm. Nothing like a Wyoming winter.

Temperatures in the single digits with blowing snow. It was cold and difficult running in the snow, but it was fun. I ran around the block a few times rather than out in the open beside the golf course like I have been. I figured it would provide a little protection from the wind. Total time was 18:32 for 2.2 miles (8:25/mile).

I woke up to temperatures of -27 degrees so I decided to wait until it warmed up a bit before running. It was around -7 degrees when I ran. Fortunately, there was no wind. Total time was 16:22 for 2 miles (8:11/mile).

A quick 2 miles with a temperature of 15 degrees outside. It felt really warm after the past few days. Total time was 15:48 (7:54/mile). I pushed harder the last mile to see how I felt and to go under 16 minutes. It felt good.
