It was quite a change in temperature from Saturday at only 21 degrees. You know it's cold when Sasha wears pants and a hat. I ran 2 with Sasha and Dustin with Mary Ann joining us for about 400 m at the end. I then turned around and headed home for a total time of 33:59 (8:00/mile).

Let it snow!  There was about 3-4 inches of snow on the trail, and it was still coming down this morning.  I ran with Sasha, Jeff and Mary Ann.  Did my 2 and then turned around.  Total time was 34:30 (8:07/mile).

Seven miles along the snowy, icy trail in 1:00:39 (8:39/mile) with Sasha and Mary Ann.  This will be my long run for the week.  Tomorrow should be shorter.  Felt okay for the run, but the stomach was having issues.

Cold morning run with Sasha and Mary Ann.  We did 5 along the trail with a pit stop at Macey's.  Total time was around 44:54 (8:58/mile).  The extra 0.5 was from running to and from Sasha's house.
