I had to wake up at 3:40 this morning to get it done, but it was worth it to get my long run in with MR.  He'd taken the morning off so we could run together.  It was 32* when we left and 30* when we got home.

10 miles- it was our long run for the week.  We have plans Saturday morning so we did it early.  It's great having it out of the way already.

Ave pace was 9:40.  Faster the second half than the first, and I felt good finishing strong. 

We had to stop along the way 3 times.  Twice for MR's twisted ankle (it's hard to judge depth perception in the dark), and once because he was hot and when he tried to unzip his sleeves, he got frustated and turned into the Hulk and started ripping the fabric of his jacket. 

I had a gu half way through.  it was key lime pie.  I loved it!

No critters, very few cars.  I did take my air horn with me and when the dog came out and I pushed the horn, it was kind of quiet... and then the whole thing started freezing over and spraying freezing air everywhere. I froze my hand (8.5 hours later, it's still red & tender).  It did keep the dogs back, but it took a lot of air time.  I didn't see any house lights come on, but I'm hoping as the weather warms up, the noise will get louder.  I'd just love to wake up the people who are irresponsible and leave their dogs out loose on the streets all night when it's 30 degrees outside. 

Hey, a girl can dream....

Did 30 minutes elliptical after work so I could earn some extra calories for dinner out with Wyatt.  Fun stuff, as usual.

I hope your hand is okay, that is crazy!

Nice job getting the run in and done on a VERY early and cold morning!! Enjoy your Saturday plans :)

Love the air horn idea! Great pace for a twisty ankle and touchy knee. I don't know if I'd be able to get out of bed at 3:40 to run. That's dedication!
