Stinking cold day!!! This morning it was 0 degrees with wind chill making it feel 10-20 below! That is stinky!! Luckily it was my work from home day and had the option of going later. So Kim and I did just that and didn't get out the door until around noon. I ran with Kim for about 5 miles and did her drop-down speed workout (1 mile, .75, .50. 25, .25 rests - she did good!). Then I did 6 more miles with a bunch of hills. Felt pretty good today after getting warmed up. It was still only 11 degrees when we went at noon. It may have warmed up to 13 or 14 by the time I was done. Downright balmy.
