Re: Sunny, not snowy Saturday
Great morning for a run. It was cool (2 degrees) when I left home but quickly went up to 5 degrees and sunny. Was able to stagger through 15.4K in shorts and Icebreaker long sleeve top.

Little cool this morning at -20 and w/c of -30. Running in the sun was great until you turned into the wind. Managed 8K but the legs did not want to co-operate. Soccer and beer tonight.
