I normally take a break on Thursdays but I was awake to get my kid out of bed for seminary and I didn't feel horribly tired so I went for a run. 22F with a 15 mph wind made the wind chill single digits at some points, but I was prepared for it. In fact, I was sweating pretty heavily up top with a couple long sleeve shirts inside my wind proof jacket. Love the wind proofability but wish it breathed a bit. But I complain.

Good run, nothing fancy, no watch or music. I just ran. Needed the micro spikes the 3/4 mile to the main road and again the 3/4 mile back home as our road is still icy but the main road was good with no slick spots.

This 50 miler is totally in my head now and I'm excited about it. Registration opens at 6 am on Monday January 5th and I'm already looking forward to hitting the trail June 20th at 6 am when the race starts. I hope my enthusiasm continues through the long training miles ahead of me.
