Got up at 5:30 with Kim and wasn't so excited about it being 13 degrees with wind chill down to 4. Just not so used to the morning winter running I'm afraid I was a bit grumpy. Starting to taper the miles before SG half next week but wanted to get some MP miles, hard to do when temps are in the teens. Met up with the SF group and headed out. Decided to go west to avoid the wind at least for a while. I ended up feeling pretty zippy today and ended up running mostly solo. Probably looked like I was unsociable but some days I just like to run alone a few miles. I was pleased the MP miles felt easier today than they've felt for a while, even with the sub-20 temps, although I did take a ton of walking breaks. Looking forward to a week taper and then racing next Saturday. 7:50/162
