It was 45 degrees with light winds this morning.  I ran 8.55 miles nice and easy as an active recovery run.  No real push at all.

It was 35 degrees with some light winds this morning but the humidity was over 80% after all the heavy rain we received yesterday.  In other words I was pretty wet when I was finished even with the cool temps.  I ran 12.44 miles in a decent pace.

It was about 45 degrees windy and raining this morning.  I have the day off so I wanted a nice, slow distance run today.  When I turned South on Hawthorne I had the wind in my face and a steady rain.  Knowing that I was going to be going this direction for the next 8.5 miles did not really excite me.  

When I made the turn at Indian Hills it started to clear-up and I started getting too hot because I was dressed for wind and rain.  I got to spend the next hour and a half sweating like crazy and now the wind was behind me so it did not cool me off much.

I ran 23.16 miles in a nice, easy pace and feel really good but glad the uncomfortableness is over.

It was 45 this morning with no wind, actually a very nice morning.  I ran 10.13 miles nice and easy and did about half of them with Bob.

It was 45 degrees with nasty winds this morning, 20-25mph at times.  I was feeling a bit sluggish today due to the cold I have been fighting for the past week so I was not happy about the wind as an added bonus to my fun.  I ran 13.22 miles in an OK but not really fast pace.

It was 26 degrees this morning but at least yesterdays 40+mph winds are gone.  I ran 10.56 miles and felt a little better than yesterday cold-wise.

It was 26 degrees this morning with no wind.  6 of us drove up to the top of Buckskin and it was a nice morning.  Barry Smith and I ran the first mile slow with the others, then we took off and ran some nice pace miles back into town.  I ended up running 13.24 miles in all.

After the run I helped a friend move out of his apartment for 2 hours so I got a good workout so far today.
