It was 48 degrees and breezy this morning......wasn't going to waste such a warm morning.  I ran 6.76 miles nice and easy as my right lower leg was bugging me again.

My computer said it was 25 degrees outside.  It wasn't.....  It was 50 degrees up on the bench where I live!  I wasn't sure how to dress.  I dressed for about 40 and was OK for most of the way.  I hit cold air when I dropped off the bench but it wamed up as soon as I went back up the hill.  It was weird.  I ran 11.65 miles.

A nice,easy 8.12 miles on a 44 degree morning.  I am running a half-marathon tomorrow.....but just for fun.  No real push for pace as I have taken it pretty easy the last month.

It was in the low 40's an was drizzling earlier in the morning, but luckily it stopped and the sun even came out for a little bit.  It was windy, mostly headwinds, and it got cold the last couple miles.  I ran this race for fun so I did not push much at all.  I had a good time seeing everyone and this year the race had 200 entries compared to last year's 49.  Jeff won, as I knew he would, and Dan Bruner ran a 1:20 PR getting ready for a marathon in Alabama next month.
