It was cold this morning and I needed to run early so it was treadmill time.  I ran 6.25 miles,  Now off to a fun day of skiing with the family!!!

It was 28 degrees, sunny and wonderful at the ski area because it was above the inversion in the valley.  There was hardly any wind at all.  It was the best day we have had skiing in a long time.

It was 12 degrees with a slight breeze this morning.  I needed to pick-up a car at the airport for someone so I decided to incorporate that in to my run.  I ran 9.81 miles to the airport, drove the car back to their house, then ran 1.31 miles home for a total of 11.12 miles.

It was 24 degrees, snowing and blowing a bit this morning.  We had a couple inches of new snow and it is supposed to be snowing off and on the rest of the week.  I ran 10.57 miles slow due to the slippery conditions.

It was 32 degrees this morning with more new snow.  The temperature made the snow very soft and the footing was terrible.  I ran 10.29 miles in a slow slog.  It would have been better if it was 20 degrees because the footing would have been better.  Oh what I would give for some dry pavement.......
