8.86 miles in the sunny, cold winter weather!

Man, it was a great run today. I just felt like I could have gone on forever. But life doesn't allow endless time in a day so I am thankful I was able to get in the miles I did today. It was chilly but sunny, a bit windy when I headed south but overall I really felt great. It's always nice to have a good run after you have a sucky run (last treadmill run was AWFUL).

I bought a new running shirt with hand warmers attached from the Gap this morning at a last minute excursion to the mall (I know it was torture! but we made it pretty fast in and out of the craziness of the Christmas shoppers!). I layered it over my very tight fitting running shirt and the combo was perfect. I ran with my warmer pants although I am on the search for new running tights for the winter. I wore my LuLu ear warmers and I was off.

I tried to run at a slow, comfortable pace. But again the last few miles I kicked it up as it's such a mental game...I know I'm almost done so I speed up!
