Run was solo at Game Farm park. Very cold! It took about 1 mile to where I was comfortable and could feel my hands. I think it was about 32 degrees or so. Ran 4 loops around the park (excluding back trail and extra area near apts). Felt good by the last couple of laps; nice and warm:)  Time was a little under 40 min.

Paradise HS in California. Time: 26:36 min for 3 miles. Not bad considering it had been 5 days since last run and the track was also frosty. Very cold! Had to run a little bit more cautiously. Dad walked around the track and I ran. Ran 1st mile on grass; last 2 on track. Felt good despite the cold!
