5.75 miles this morning 46 deg. f. no wind.
I really enjoyed this run.
I seemed to have quite a bit of flow.
Clear skies but no wildlife that I could spot.
 
Great run today. I had flexible schedule this week, needed to do 20 hours mon-wed so opted for 2 10 hour days and took today off since it looked to be the best weather. Hit 59F today, a mix of clear blue skies and dark storm clouds, and somewhat breezy. After I got warmed up I ditched the shirt and settled on a 7 1/2 minute pace for the main part of today's 9.5 mi run.

Lots of people walking today, at least the first couple miles near town. Must be due to vacations for the holidays, combined with spring like weather. Even saw a few on bike which I have not seen in a good month or so. Had to be the warmest late December run I have ever done! Had to take a selfie to remember it...

Ran in the rain Monday, which was okay, but felt like 6 miles was enough, then came home and went for a swim. Had a dental appointment in the afternoon that turned into a root canal. Sometimes, life seems like a comedy of errors! So, I took Tuesday off, but am riding the spin bike now. I am happy to say that although the procedure was nerve wracking, I have had next o no discomfort following it, so expect to be able to run again tomorrow.!
 
Had a great week and hope everyone enjoyed the holidays. Highest mileage week of '15 for me at 36.2 miles (incl 2.77 walking).

Had a wonderful run into the setting sun on the 24th (pics below) and then 12.5 mile run on Christmas. Today just did 2mi to say I did something, and to push up the week over my previous one of 32 miles. It was dark, cold, windy, and rainy. Pretty miserable. Went out in full rain gear and strobe. 37F but feels like 29F according to weatherbug. Some of my toes went numb.

Some cell phone pics during my evening run on the 24th.
 
Fairly leisurely 2.5km for me at the beginning of the week as I start to get back out after a festive dose of man-flu!
Really good to get out again. It was a crisp dry morning, but not too cold at all. -Saw one rabbit and quite a few other runners, which I wasn't expecting.
I'll probably rest a few more days now & then go again..(should be 100% by then).
 
I must admit to running on the beach on Maui this morning. 6.5 miles. About half on the beach, but had to go up on the roads for the rest. First barefoot run late November, I think. Felt SO good! Quite a few other runners (as well as walkers) out. All but one runner wearing shoes on the beach. I kept my mouth shut until I saw one man get caught by a wave, getting his shoes wet. He kinda smiled with chagrin and me, so I had to say, "You need shoes like mine!" and he grinned. :D
