Idaho weather is so weird....  Yesterday morning it was 7 degrees.  This morning it was 42 degrees, albeit very windy.  I actually ran in shorts today!  I ran 10.15 miles and totally enjoyed the temps.  It is supposed to be 15 tomorrow morning :(

It was 18 degrees with some wind this morning.  I ran 7.11 miles in the dark and cold.  What a change from yesterday.  It is supposed to start getting really nasty here on Tuesday night and for the rest of the week.  We may finally get the snow that we need.

It was 37 degrees, overcast, and windy this morning....but it wasn't raining so it was good outside.  I ran 7.32 miles but had to skip the upper trail as it was solid mud from the full inch of rain we received yesterday.
