Treadmill. Trying to avoid the curse of Monday.

Town just to the east of us was devastated by the tornado on Sunday. Lots of families we know have little left. Prayers needed!

Just squeezed in 2 when I got home at 9 so I could avoid another non running day.

I finally got smart and woke up at 4:45 to get in 5 miles.  5 miles is pushing it time-wise, especially if I am running easy.  This morning felt like I was pretty slow.  Sometimes I need runs like that.  I have been feeling annoyed by running the last week or so, but this run was a good one.

Second day in a row of running in the a.m. Can I make a habit of this? I'd kinda like to. We'll see. I ended up tossing and turning starting at about three, so when I looked at the clock and it was within 10 minutes of my alarm, I got out of bed. And the I was able to put in one more mile.

I wore shorts, and an old guy walking the other way told me it was cold outside in a disapproving tone. When I just laughed, he repeated "cold," even crabbier.

Either the cold front spurred me to be faster today or I'm actually faster lately, but I dropped under 8:30 pace after a warm up mile of 8:50 and just stayed there. It was much colder than yesterday, plus I was at my mom's, where it's usually 5 or so degrees colder. I chose my wardrobe wisely, though a cold wind cuts through pretty much anything. My face was a little cold, but at least it was sunny. AP was 8:25.
