It was 41 degrees with steady rain this morning.  My sister in law Kathy was in town so we came over this morning to run with us.  We ran the 2 miles to meet the MWF group.  We actually had 18 runners even with the rain today!  We ran 1.5 miles with them and then Kathy wanted some hill work because she is running a 5 mile section of a relay in June that is all uphill.  I took her down and then back up Satterfield.  Then I dropped her off at the house and did a bit more.  I ran 10.12 easy miles in total.

It was 28 degrees with a wind chill of 16 when I left this morning.  It didn't warm up hardly at all during the whole run.  I was cold whenever the sun was behind the clouds.  I ran 20.15 easy miles on my standard loop all around the town.

It was 23, yes 23 degrees this morning!!!  I ran a couple miles before meeting with our group.  We had 20 runners!  We have some of them up to 2 miles now.  Then I ran a few more with Barry and Chad throwing in 1 tempo mile in the middle.  I finished by myself for a total of 10.06.

It was 25 degrees this morning.  I wore shorts anyway....I am just defiant.  We had 23 show up for our group run this morning.  Everyone that showed up got a FREE case of Gatorade from our "anonymous" donor.  Our group is really starting to look good.  After the group run I ran another 3 with Barry and Chad, then finished on my own.  Barry is not going to run longer tomorrow so I am searching for a running partner or at least a ride for tomorrow's planned 22.
