It was 31 degrees and sunny this morning.  I decided to run today because I felt like a slouch after only going 10 yesterday.  It was actually a beautiful morning for a run.  I ran 10.56 miles with 3 tempo miles that felt really easy.

It was 40 degrees but the cold winds made it feel a lot colder.  The wind chill was below 30.  I managed to get 5 miles in before running with our new runner group.  I ran 2 more with them, then another 3.5 with Barry and Chad.  Finished with another couple miles by myself for 13.15.  I already have a good start to my planned BIG mileage week.

It was 31 degrees, windy, and SNOWING this morning.  Isn't it almost May?  I did my loop around Pocatello and slogged-out my 20-miler.  Not exactly an enjoyable run.  I was soaked when I got home but it is done.

It was 31 degrees but WAY nicer than yesterday.  It was a clear morning and as soon as the sun came up the temperature felt fine.  I ran 4 miles before our group run this morning.  I went another 2 with the group then went 4 more with Barry and Chad.  We think we have figured out the course for our running group's 5K and BBQ this summer.  I finished with Chad and then ran a couple with Kristin.  Total miles 13.05.

It was 45 degrees and very windy this morning.  Besides the wind it was pretty nice.  I ran an easy 15.61 on my university loop.

It was 30 degrees and snowing when I left the house this morning.  Luckily the snow tapered off after a mile or so.  I ran 4 miles before our group run, then I did 2.3 with the faster group (we upped the mileage 10% today).  After that I ran 3.5 with Barry , Chad, and Kristin before running home.  I threw in 4 tempo miles which seemed fairly easy, especially with my mileage this week.  Total for the day 10.31.  Long run (22) tomorrow.

It was 25 degrees at the top of Buckskin this morning according to my car thermometer which normally reads a bit high.  I was in shorts because....I just was.  I ran a good tempo for the first 13 miles then I slowed when I hit the very cold headwinds coming out of Inkom.  I ran 22.06 miles and feel a bit tired from the week but definitely not dead.
