8 glorious miles in the slush.  I know I'm crazy but I love to run in inclement weather.  Running down the hill by my house was quite an adventure.  I'm not sure you could call it running- it was more like skiing in the mud.  I ran a loop from my house to lifetime.  I included two runs up parkway pallisades. 

I just got a new garmin so I was able to determine my AP- 9:14.  I hadn't set the auto laps though so I don't have mile breakdowns.  

I feel pretty good about my pace, and the fact I was able to finish 8 miles easily, since I haven't run in two weeks and I had to concentrate to stay on my feet, especially on the hills.

5 miles with an AP of 8:42.  I went out with the intention of possibly running 8 miles but my legs were tired.  It was a little discouraging.  It felt like my pace was in the low 8's not the high 8's.  Oh well, some days are like that.  I just never got in the rhythm.

Went out for a run not knowing where I was going or how far I was going to run.  I ended up running on the JRP for 2 miles then up Tithing Hill to 1300 W, ran over to 9800 S. and then back to JRP,  ran up through the neighborhoods by Mulligans and eventually ended up back on the JRP.  Total miles ended up being 11.1 with an AP of 9.16 and 1003 ft of ascent.  It was an amazing run.  I love running in the snow.  It was so beautiful, although I wonder how many miles I would have covered if my feet weren't slipping every time I pushed off, especially on the JRP.  Great Day:)

Left the house at 5:05 am hoping to meet up with the BBK group.  Got to the church I thought they were meeting at and no one was there so I drove to a couple of nearby churches- no one.  So, I went to the original church and headed off by myself.  There were a couple of runners a ways up ahead of me so I followed them, it didn't take long for me to catch them, as they were fairly slow- definately not BBK'ers.    At 5 miles I headed back for my car and ended up running into the "early" group.  I turned around and ran a few miles with them.  Apparently I didn't get the email that said they had changed the starting time.  When we got back to the church the whole group was there but I had had enough.  7.34 miles with an AP of 9.06.  

Overall a great run.  Now I remember how nice it is to get my run done in the morning.
