Running with a head cold.  Felt okay other than the constant dripping of the nose.  600+ of elevation gain.

Out there early at 4:30am.  First run back after a 3 day sickness.  I figured that I should punish myself some more with 1200+ feet of elevation.

Buckets of rain with a constant wind. I was in my Mother-in-law's neck of the woods, which always has some climbs & descents. 900+ in elevation gain.

2 mile warm up into a 4 mile (failed) tempo, followed by 2 miles back to work.  I call the tempo failed because I really don't know what my tempo pace should be and I took a 10-20 second reset after the first two tempo miles which were too fast for me.  I  could have gutted the whole 4 miles out at that pace and been a man, but I guess I just wasn't feeling that manly.

Very cold with 15mph winds. 7:32 avg.  Luckily, we aren't going to get much snow accumulation from this Monster storm which is crushing everyone south of Massachusetts.  Side note:  I think I found another go to shoe.  The New Balance Boracay.  Sweet ride.
