The cold continue, although not at the same record-breaking levels of the last couple of weeks.  Out the door at 545 AM for an easy five miles and change.  Temps in the mid-30s with a strong, sustained South wind.  Things were fairly uncomfortable at the start.  And then it started to rain.  Turned back to the North around the half-way point and enjoyed the wind at my back.  Finished strong despite a pretty slow start.  Pace ended up at 9:32 min/mile.  Blink 182 on the box.  Closed out the work week with three solid runs and two good workouts at the gym.  Weather conditions for Saturday's planned eight miles look discouraging: temps in the low-20s with an unforgiving North wind.  Joy.  Rest Sunday.
