Another nice run today

I took Kara to school at 8 a.m., and was seriously tossing around the idea of running right when I returned home. That is, until I saw the frost and ice -- yes, ice -- that was outside waiting for me. It was a balmy 25 degrees when Kara and I headed off to the preschool, and I knew right then a morning run was out.

I waited a couple hours to go running. It was about 40 degrees when I finally went. Much better, although still colder than I am used to running in. At least the ice had melted, though.

I ran to the bank and then to Kara's preschool, where Tim and Matty met us with the van. It was a nice run. I am loving the running tights still and the gloves. Tim said I look the part of a runner now. Yeah!

We're planning to got to Target later today, but I want to kick the new year off with a run tomorrow. Happy New Year, everyone!

Today's stats:
Run:
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 43:54
Pace: 10:58 minute/mile

No ice here. You are a runner, even in old sweats that do not match.
