Morning: 10 miles outside. 5 degrees with probably a 20 mph East wind and blowing snow, so wind chill about -15 or so. It wasn't too bad until I turned around at the 5 mile mark. The wind was directly into the right side of my face. The only part uncovered was my eyes and the snow was stinging that right eye. It was awesome. On top of that I had my neck gaiter covering my mouth and nose and it was tough to breathe through that thing. Each breath brought the cloth into my mouth as I sucked in. Quite a few times I held the gaiter away from my mouth so I could breathe easily, then the cloth on the right side would freeze and for a bit I could breathe easy. It was a good run but I was glad to get home. Total time 1:34 or so, but didn't get a great read on time or splits. 

Late Morning: 7 TM miles. After coaching & refereeing a 1-2nd grade girls basketball game I came home to finish my miles. I ate too much for breakfast and after the game, so I had a nice side ache the first 2 miles. Slowed and walked a couple times and it eventually went away. Ended the last mile at 7:21 pace. 1% incline.

nice miles. coaching & refereeing a bball game for 1st-2nd grade girls sounds like a great [fun] challenge.
