cold, dark and slow miles

cold and dark is not my favorite combination. in fact, i think the only other combination i like less is cold, dark and windy. this morning the wind was practically non-existent, so, hey, it cold have been worse.

the other "bleh" factor on this ride was the speed. i was intentionally keeping things super easy so my legs wouldn't be harmed before sunday's 10K. so i crept along in the cold. my fingers went numb first, then started to hurt just a little. i was wearing thermal gloves. grrrrr!

nothing much to report other than these minor complaints. i didn't scare anyone and no one scared me. all the animals were in the caves or holes or what have you. there weren't many cars and no close calls.

so i guess i'll quit and get this posted before the electricity goes off. there's a scheduled outage from 7:00-9:00 this morning. don't know what they're doing, but i guess i'll survive. (20.19 miles @ 13.4mph)
