Happy New Year! It's a new year and has been started as a tradition, the running group is getting together for a morning run. Carol offered to host this year, so we're starting from her house and will have breakfast at it after.

It's quite cold today, with a pretty strong westerly wind. Bill and I wanted to run the first mile of the year together, then we figured we may break off from each other. After the first mile, we decided to stay together and walk/run together for the shorter route of about 4 miles.

Ran 4.3 miles in 44:29 pace (10:20/mile pace). We walked about 1/2 mile or so in the first 3 miles when the wind was pretty strong, so that really hurt our overall pace. The last 1.2 miles was at a 9:44 pace, still slow, but better than the 10:34 pace in the first 3.1 miles.
