An easy 4.  A little sore from the long run yesterday.  But still good.

An exceptionally warm day.  I thought a couple weeks ago I would never wear shorts in January again, but here I was in shorts.  Today broke some records (set in 1914) for the warmest January day (62 degrees).  I wore long sleeves but shouldn't have.

It is hard for me to run outside during the week just because of timing, but I had a dentist appointment.  Left work early and had time to run before picking up the kids. It was glorious!

It's supposed to get cold again quickly, like 20 degrees on Thursday with a negative windchill.

3 treadmill miles after a great presentation at work.

While I was running, Eli set up a prayer mat and was singing his prayers.  He kept turning the lights on and off, and I tolerated it because it was cute.  It did, though, make me dizzy to watch the treadmill display when it was dark.

An early 3.  Now that I'm at work it doesn't even feel like I ran.  I guess that's a good thing.

A little snowy and a little windy.  I had some problems with my pants while I was running.  I kept hiking them up as high as they would go, only to have them slip down every quarter mile.  My shirts were also too short, so that didn't help.  Finally I tucked both shirts into my pants.  That helped enough so I only had to hike up my pants every half mile instead.
