Monday 2 Dec: And the races are off... I kicked off the week with the standard 8 mile double loop on my lunch break. Still a bit sore from Saturday's run and lack of sleep thanks to my son last night. Anyhow, my MAF splits were pretty much normal and I was glad for the last "nice" weather day for the next few while we receive an arctic blast.

Wednesday 13 Nov: Cold Running was the name of the game today. Until this year, I have been a "seasonal" runner. While I started last January, this is my first serious winter. I was dreading the dread mill so i decided i would at least attempt for a true mile outside and then go inside. I ended up doing 8 miles. I experienced a new problem I never had. With around 10 degrees before the 20 MPH winds. During my second lap, north travel made me really cold in places I have never been before. I had to run backwards to get a break for a while.
