Ran home from work this morning. It was really, really, really cold. I had on the fleece headband and the WR gloves, along with the track pants I wore to work. They didn't keep me warm. Face felt like it was gonna freeze. Plus the run home is uphill all the way which didn't help. I think I managed about 10:00 pace, maybe a tad quicker, but I didn't time it or anything. Emma's package arrived at 10:30 with the mail person ringing the bell to get me to sign for it, so I'm working on 3 hours sleep. After that, I spent an hour getting the flat changed, took the car in to get a new tire (had to order it) and went to the gold shop. So I'm ready to sleep now. Probably will not get in a run this evening. Definitely will not run to work.
