Wow! It was really cold this morning. My skin needs to callus up a bit more for winter. I left the house later than usual this morning because Steve was home and could take the kids. So nice to have him around to help:) Left a bit overdressed but it was pouring (quite literally) freezing rain that later turned to snow just above where I was running. I didn't have a set amount of miles to run, but needed to be back by a certain time, so I let that dictate my mileage. Ended up running 16.5 with an AP of 7:50. I ran from my house down Main to the new Farmington shops on the other side of the freeway. I really wanted to take the trail back for some flat running, but knew I was running out of time and worried I wouldn't be able to easily get home due to some closures. Splits were 7:50, 7:52, 7:31, 7:35, 7:39, 8:12, 7:35, 8:03, 8:26, 7:48, 7:57, 7:28, 8:07, 8:05, 8;09, 7:39, 7:50 (.5). Felt good, but the hills in the later half took some toll on me. Planning for a fartlek on Saturday while I'm running around in the snow in Idaho. Yes!
