Early AM: Had a bad nights sleep with the nasty north winds blowing sheets of rain against our bedroom window thru much of the night. By 5:45 things had calmed down so I decided to give the early 6 mile run a try. Kim opted to try her luck later in the day. I haven't talked to her yet or seen a blog entry so I hope it worked out for her. Turns out the timing was pretty good for me as the rain mostly stopped and the winds weren't too bad either.

Late AM: Weather cleared up and the sun even poked through a little bit so I resisted Nate's invitation to join him for a treadmill run and went outside for 4 including 2 miles on the roads (7:58) and 2 miles BFOCWG (Barefoot On Cold Wet Grass :) 8:08). The north wind was still plenty nasty though and I didn't enjoy those times I was running straight into it.
While I was doing the barefoot thing I'm sure the flag football dudes I kept running past thought I was a nut job. Actually at times I was thinking I was a nut job. The cold wet grass had my feet about completely numb by the time I was done. Nothing like icing your feet while your running. So far my feet are feeling pretty good (now that I can actually feel them) so hopefully I didn't do a dumb thing by running with frozen bare feet.
