AM- 36º Less wind today so made for a good early run. Fire trucks and emt up early today, hopefully nothing serious. Broke in some new shoes with an easy run, with a fast mile or so at the end. I thought I would start my new cycle in December and I still might, but I needed another week so of just general arobic running. It has been a long year and want 2017 to start with some solid motivation.

22º with an 8º Wind chill. Add 20 mph winds and it was crisp. I hit the trails hoping the trees would break the wind a tad. 4 niles on hilly trails.

AM- 9º w/ -1º Wind Chill. Brrrrr 6 Miles, layered up, which makes me slow. I always wonder how these miles translate to cardio fitness. However, glad I got out.

AM- 17º w/6º WC. At least it was warmer than yesterday morning. That is a positive, although a little more wind today. 7 Easy, just trying to keep myself moving through the year.

AM- 26º w/19º WC. At least the wind was calmer this morning. Probably felt colder than it was because of that short warm burst. Layered up and slow today.
