I wasn't quite sure whether or not I wanted to run outside today. The temperature this morning was about 16 degrees. It seemed prudent to wait until after we went and got our Christmas tree, which was an incident that exposed us to the cold quite nicely. That's where I discovered how breezy it was. The temptation to run on the treadmill was certainly on the rise.
The factors in favor of running outdoors was an increasing temperature and bright sunshine. The Wife ran with me again and she completed a full three-miler. I considered running 8 miles, but the longer I was out the less I enjoyed the wind. I decided three runs of 6 miles was plenty for the week and a nice incremental increase over last week's total. My goal is to build up the mileage, not to suddenly spike with a long run. Running with the older shoes certainly seems to be helping, too.
