2.31 miles in 25:35

talked my wife into running outside with me. she agreed with some degree of trepidation. she's been running on the treadmill in the warmth and comfort of our house and wasn't so sure about how warm 45 degrees was. i assured her it would be plenty warm once we started running.

we walked three blocks to warm up and then started out running with the north wind at our backs. we ran down past the park and took a block west before heading north again. i'll admit running into the wind it did feel a bit chilly. we made it up to beech before we stopped for a walking break.

when we started running again we were headed west toward the farmer's co-op and the dark west side of town. thankfully, there was just enough sunlight left to avoid the potholes and large rocks.

we turned back east on garfield and headed back into town and then took a block south to the railroad tracks. we walked a little less than two blocks and then finished out the run with a six block stretch.

we walked the two and a half blocks home as our cool down.
