Total Distance

20.25

15 miles in the morning.

5.25 miles in the early evening.

Happy New Year everyone. I can't believe it is 2008. I wanted to start the year out on a good note so I decided to go and do a longer run this morning. It was beautiful weather. It was nice and sunny and not to cold. The roads were still snowy and slick with very few dry spots but I enjoyed this run a lot. I did my North Ogden rolling hills out and back. I hit about 2 miles of wind blowing in my face going uphill in quite a bit of snow. It worked me but it was a good push. I had to stop at my Grandma's house for a potty break. My aunt opened the door and said, "Idiot!" She told me I was crazy for running in this cold weather. You got to love family! I did the run at 6:42/mile pace overall. Not bad considering the road conditions. I did another 5.25 miles in the early evening to keep the legs loose and get 20 for the day. Good start to 2008. Good luck to everyone this year.
