Since the morning temps were all the way up to 5 and there wasn't much wind I decided to try my luck running outside. Ran over to center street and ran up and down the road a couple times then back home to get to 6 miles. Wasn't too bad actually. My hands were actually too hot in the mega-mittens I wore but my cheeks (face) were pretty frozen by the end. So I guess if I just use less heavy duty gloves and cover my face better I'll be just dandy.

Repeat of yesterday. But this time I was dressed correctly so I was quite comfy despite the low temps. Unfortunately with the inversion the air is starting to get bad. Just can't win with this weather. Later I got to the gym for 30 min XT plus core.

Another fabulous-fun-filled-foggy/smoggy-five-degree-five miler. Ok so we went 6 miles not 5 but you get the idea. Nice to have Kimi join me for this one. With the lovely inversion we smelled like camp fires when we got home since apparently the no-wood-burn rule doesn't apply to Spanish Fork. Kinda sad that 5 degrees with little to no wind doesn't feel so bad any more.  Just over a week until winter REALLY starts! Hooray!!

Quite a bit warmer this morning around 15-20 degrees and no wind so if felt quite balmy! Had a pretty good size group of runners and had a nice run although I was kind of the slow poke of the bunch. My legs were kind of worn out after running every day this week but I still enjoyed the run a lot.
