I was thrilled to see that it wasn't raining this morning. So glad the weather forecast was wrong. It was around 37 degrees the whole 2 hours we were running (1130-130). Humidity was super low for us, 74 at the start and 64% at the end. It had stopped raining by 1:30 this morning. It all went up north, and in Maryland at our old house, they're having record snow of about 2 feet today. They even shut down the DC Metro. They're not prepared for weather like that in DC. I feel bad for people up there, but I was glad I didn't have any of it here today while I was running. My first 9 miles were between 9:30 and 9:45 m/m paces. The last 5 miles I was able to pick up the speed. My last 2 miles were 8:45 and 8:32. So I got the negative split run in on my long run...and that doesn't usually happen. Good run, dry weather. Another Christmas miracle.
