Body clock woke me up at 5am. 25 degrees, snowing, 2 inches of new snow, no wind. I didn't have (mentally) another TM run in me so I decided to brave the elements. It was beautiful; like running on a blanket the whole way. A little slippery but not bad.

 

PM: 6 miles on the TM at the gym. 1 a little faster just to break things up.

dang it, I almost texted you to see if you wanted to run together, but I thought Matt convinced everyone on the TM. Great job for getting out in the white quilts and running the elements. Another boring TM run for me...

I would have loved the company. I didn't decide until 5am and most folks don't appreciate a call that early :)

Great job Mike. Sounds like a fun run.
