Early AM: Winter Wonderland part 2 this morning. Yesterday we had single digit temps that made for frosty trees that sparkled in the light of Kim's mini-flashlight. Today we had 25 degrees and snowstorm with huge fluffy snowflakes. Fun stuff. I'll take 25 and snow over 35 and rain any day. Luckily it was cold enough the roads weren't treacherous to run on so we went over and did 8 repeats up heartbreak hill (steep version). 5 miles.

Late AM: Temps just over freezing and no wind/snow/rain made for not too bad run conditions. Ran 5 more miles on the old Eagle View route that I used to run years ago all the time with the running group from work. Unfortunately our group has dwindled to practically nobody with all the layoffs over the years. So it was a bit lonely running up the big nasty hill solo. Felt pretty good so pushed the pace a little bit.

Tom, hill repeata are the best, low risk of injury. You are darn lucky to have a great running partner.
