Day 42 -- Sunday

I ran outside today, for the first time this year. It was cold, but good. I'm a wimp about these things. For at least a month, while driving to the gym first thing in the morning, I've passed people who are out running in God's green air. But I don't like running outside when it's colder than about 40. I'm just hoping it will be warm enough for me this next week, because there's no handy gym near Grandma Jogger's house.

When I run outside, I don't have a measured route. I just go where the spirit moves me. So I'm not absolutely sure how far I ran. I ran 44 minutes, and put myself down for 4.9 miles. I've been running pretty consistent 8.5 minute miles at the gym, but I figure that the hills slowed me down a bit.
