Ran in the early morning with the SF group, mostly with Hal and the Barneys who were visiting for the holidays. Temps were warmer than I expected but a bit of breeze from the west. Hal talked me into running up Harry's again and as usual he pushed the pace back to Osbornes so I'll count 2 miles as MP.

Thanks guys.

Clay - the ironic thing is that this picture was taken in St. George just outside our condo last Thursday morning. Normally I would have been wearing longs in these conditions but I hadn't packed any since I didn't think I'd need them in SG.

The other weird thing was that just a couple hours later the fog had burned, the sun was shining bright and it was the nicest of all the days we stayed there.
