Ran at 7:30am after last nights snowstorm.  Started out in light snow running in 2-3 inches of heavy, wet snow.  Found some pavement around ISU and got in some better miles.  Spent the last 5 miles running along the side of the road in 2 inches of slush.  Easy, interesting run but I was soaking wet by the time I finished.

Ok.....so 16 degrees is not EVEN funny for the 13th of October.  Luckily there was very little wind so it wasn't so bad.  Nice run today, got some good miles once I could see a little bit.

7:30am:  I had today off so I ran later today, actually ran in shorts for the first time since Thursday.  It was 27 degrees but warmed to 32 by the time I finished.  I ran 15.12 miles in 1:58:46.  Nice, crisp morning.  It was nice to run in the light.

5:00pm:  Ran an easy 8.15 miles in nice weather.  50 degrees and a light breeze.  Did not push very hard as it has been several years since I have done doubles.

6:30am:  Ran an easy 11.41 miles.  It was 30 degrees and the moon was nice and bright so it was easy to see running around the fairgrounds loop.  Ran 4 miles with Bob. 

Went to Twin Falls in the afternoon to watch Nicole in her High school swim meet.  She normally does 4 events (2 relays, 2 individuals).  She was upset with herself after her 100-yard backstroke.  Her goggles popped-off at the start and it messed her up.  She has been working pretty hard and she wanted to do better.  Got to bed late due to the trip.

6:30am:  Nice morning, temps in low 40's.  Felt better today.  Was a bit tired on Wednesday after double on Tues.  Ran some nice miles after warm-up and felt good.

I registered for the Tucson marathon (Dec 7th)last night.  I am going with Brett from Rexburg.  He got us a great condo to stay in.
