Cedar River Trail. 7:30 a.m. Lisa and I met up with the Cedar River runners where they met at Lake Wilderness Lodge. I waved to them as they ran off as they seem to like to start right on time. Lisa was a just a bit late. We went at our own pace. Lisa's first time meeting at the area in Maple Valley at the Wilderness Lodge. Nicole out of town this weekend-Linkin City. It was VERY cold this morning and windy. We actually felt snow flurries on us as we ran. I stayed very bundled up with a few layers; wore gloves as well. We saw a little stand/tent where Wilderness trail meets up with the Cedar River trail. Sharon was there (Balanced Athlete) with a another man setting up for a marathon that was going to be taking place at 8 p.m. (Pigtail run). Pretty neat! Lisa and I had a good run. Kept a slower pace but I was just so happy to put in that kind of mileage after not running that far in awhile. I don't think I have ran that mileage since the marathon. Whoo hoo!! Lisa and I had a nice run and good conversation. Felt tired but a do able run. I know I had eaten some snacks a bit late and went to bed a bit late that night. I also didn't sleep well due to the wind. We actually lost power last night and still don't have it. Didn't have power all day.
