As we left this morning there was a soft yellow orange glow over a purple blue silhouette of the mountains. It was breathtaking!! It is really beautiful here :D
33 degrees. I tried running without the long johns under my running tights. BAD IDEA! My legs were FROZEN the entire time. Ok at 3 miles they felt a bit numb and less painful. I swear my knees were creaking like the Tin Man. The top was good. I wore the same tops as yesterday. I brought a scarf today, but really need a gator. I am going to try the ski mask tomorrow :D
The run was fine. It felt great, except the COLD!!!! Maybe my legs like the cold. It's like running and having an ice bath at the same time ;) Kim ran with me the first two miles, but had to turn back for work :( We ran the same out and back as yesterday. I like it. It is the same distance to Salem and back but feels a TON shorter.
The hotel I am staying in has a gym. I am trying to use up most of my weekly miles before I go so I will have less on the treadmill to run. We will be staying in Walnut Creek CA. I am going with my parents and my brothers and sisters. It has been more than 20 years since we've gone on a vacation with just us.

This pic is the cover for our family cookbook by my very tallented brother Adam Ford. His blog is AWESOME! The title of the Cookbook is "Never Trust a Skinny Cook" It's a joke in our family :) http://adamscreation.blogspot.com/
