Cheesey bottom crust

Middleton. Ive gotten cold the last few runs so I made sure to double glove for todays run. If they where water proof gloves it might have done some good today. Light rain when I started out so I thought it might be a good time to run up Millcreek while the sand was wet. Bagged that idea when I saw how muddy it was going to be just getting to the sand. Went out into Middleton instead. Stayed pretty warm and was feeling good until about mile 5. It started to rain harder and the wind was now in my face and I was soaked through within a couple of minutes. Kept the feet mostly dry until about mile 7 when I had to go around a car at an intersection and went into a deep puddle. From there on out I didnt even try to dodge any water I just jumped right in. Aside from my hands being frozen when I was done I had fun.

Fields. Started out going with a nice pace and just kept it there for 9 (6:28 avg) and then eased up for the final 3. A little chilly but i'll take dry cold running over wet cold running anyday.

Parkway x2. Decent run tonight. Took it easy and just tried to stay warm. Tendon on the outside of the right quad (ACL?) was tender for most of the run. Its been sore since Mondays rain run. I think the water soaked shoes caused me to run weird that night. Hopefully not a big deal.

Club run. River trail into Bloomington and then the back way into Bloomington Hills to the Super Crazy Christmas Lights House. Wow! They probably pay more on their electric bill than the average person makes a month. Good run.

City Wells and home via Main street. I usually take this one slow for the first half because its uphill the whole way but today I wanted to go a little harder. Felt good so once I turned around I sped up and did 5 tempo miles back home. The legs where reallly turning over well and it felt almost effortless. The downhill helped with that Im sure but it still felt good. Put on the tights for the first time today. I dont like to wear them but I could tell a difference in how my legs worked because they where warmer. Boy do I look like a goofball in those things. My skinny chicken legs cant fill them out so Emily says shes going to find me some in the womens section and maybe those will work.
