5 miles again in Flagstaff

I ran each day I was in Flagstaff this week.  Wednesday morning I ran early and it was 12 degrees. My fingers were in pain by the time I got home, but the rest of me wasn't too bad even with shorts on.  The next morning I wore heavier gloves and running tights and was very comfortable. The next two days I ran a bit latter in the morning and it was rather plesant. The 7000 foot altitude bothered me less than I thought it would.  I was a bit slower than I usually am here at 500 feet in Havasu, but my lungs felt fine.  It's good to be back here in nice warm Havasu. 

Happy New Year every one.

Nice job Rhett. I remember running in Flagstaff in high school. Every time it felt like running in a dream, where you're trying to run as hard and fast as you can, but you're not getting anywhere.

I have that dream all the time.... and then I Have the same problem when I run for real....

Rhett, Running in shorts when it is 12 degrees can lead to something much worse than painful fingers! Sheesh!

How about some 2012 mileage reports?

Happy New Year!!!
