Double Digits

I took a planned rest day yesterday.  A Saturday without running has been rare this year and I enjoyed it so much!  I set the alarm last night though, because I needed to run today.  Our forecast is typical December - Santa Ana winds are headed our way sometime this afternoon.  That's how reindeer fly in my neighborhood - 45 mph gusts of wind.


This morning was the calm before the storm - 42 degrees, clear and calm.  I had my first double digit run in a month - 10 miles and they felt great!  I wasn't fast, but I was steady.  My fastest mile was 10:51 and my slowest was 12:58.  I loved watching the sun come up and start warming things up a bit.

    Nice job on getting in a 10! It was nasty windy here almost all weekend. I was supposed to do a ten today but was not feeling it. 9 will have to do :)
