7:30am:  I ran later today because I have the day off.  It was 36 degrees with our old standby of 20+ winds with gusts over 30....whatever.  I had planned 15 miles but I stretched it to 17.12 because I felt good and I had the time.

6:30am:  It was 17 degrees this morning with no wind and a Freezing Fog advisory.  There were times during my run that my eyelashes were trying to freeze together.  When I got home I was covered in frost and my head cover had an ice beard....I looked like Frosty the Snowman.  Other than that I had an Awesome run.  I ran 13.24 miles with some nice pick-up miles when I had good visibility.  I actually had about 15 minutes of clear running on the top of Satterfield because I was above the fog inversion.
