I slept so good last night it was sad when the early alarm went off to go running. I went inside today because it was pretty cold and a fair amount of snow on the ground. I used to hate running indoors but I am now learning to appreciate having an indoor option. It is nice that I still ran 4 miles and am not sitting here freezing cold. My neighbor used to never run in the winter because she would loose her motivation and would not go outside. Now, she will brave the cold with me most of the time. I guess we have helped each other find a happy medium. Running on a flat track inside also helped us to run faster. After the first mile my neighbors watch said we ran a 7:50 pace. We were running really fast and I was tired but I am pretty sure her watch was a bit off. I don't think we were that fast but still, we ran a lot faster then we run on the hills outside.
