My progress is ranging from lazy to lazier as I finally got out for my first run since Saturday.  The boys are out of school for Christmas break.  That meant I could run a little later.  I knew it would be cold and so I put everything on, including long sleeves, long pants, gloves, and ski mask.  That was more than adequate to stay warm with a temperature of 14F.  I ended up running 4.64 miles in 38:33 for an average pace of 8:18 per mile with a 7:50 for mile 3, which was mostly downhill.

Today's run went pretty well.  I had to go back to Sept 24 to find a better pace at this distance.  The temperature was 27 degrees  and no precipitation.  I had to go through a few ice patches, but otherwise the roads were dry.  10.19 miles took 1:26:17 for an average pace of 8:28/mile.
