Another nippy morning, we don't usually see 25-30 degrees in  May. But clear and not too windy so a nice morning for a nice run to start out the week.  Looks like this just might be our last sub-freezing morning until fall or winter.

Ran just under 4 with Kim then did some hills while Kim finished up and did her thing with the WannaRunna5K ladies - who I passed on the last mile - they were doing really good. I was feeling pretty good today as well and finished up the last mile running MP.

Nice running Tom. What do you wear on morning runs like that?

Cal always hard to know what to wear when it's in the just below freezing range. I probably should have worn longs but I was stubborn and didn't think it was right to have to wear longs in May so I went with compression shorts underneath running shorts and UnderArmor long sleeve shirt under a technical long sleeve, beanie and gloves. A bit nippy on the legs starting out but felt fine after a mile or so. Luckily the canyon winds were pretty calm.

Good to hear Camron made it through Snow College. Where's he going next? Is he following in your footsteps to USU? Doesn't he understand the program like me and you, that you get married while at Snow or immediatley thereafter?

Terry he is going to USU next, and as far as the marriage thing.... he is still taking a 4 week 1 credit class at Snow thru the end of May and his girlfriend is is still there too, so he does have 1 more month to work on that :)
