Before the cold
So far, this winter has been fairly warm. It was about 70 degrees when I ran at the park early this afternoon. It is suppose to be in the 40's for my race tomorrow morning and then 28 Sunday morning. If the forecast holds, it will be the first freeze of the winter. In any case, I got in 3.4 miles at the park, mostly on the trails.
