Had a lot of difficulties falling asleep last night so when I set off at 4:35 am to meet up with the Thursday running group I only had 3.5hrs of sleep to go off of. I just kept telling myself to get out there as it's good training for the ultras when I'll be running thru the night anyway.
Despite the windchill of -17F & my fuel freezing toward the end it went surprisingly well. Having the company of other runners definitely keep the mind off the cold. Between the mileage I logged running to/from the meet-up site and the miles w/ the group I got 13.3 this morning!
Now I need a nap.
Susan & Lime: Way to HTFU thru those conditions and get the runs done! Always makes race conditions seem better when you can compare them against crummier weather in training.

Urlea--you are one tough chick.
I was looking forward to that 12 miler all day yesterday. We had gotten so much fresh snow. Big, fat, wet snowflakes. It was gorgeous. And I mapped out a route that took us through the State Park and up to Lake MI. It was beautiful and peaceful.
I LOVE running in weather.
