Winter Solstice

1222070642The sky was on fire this morning. It was a nice way to welcome the first day of Winter. It was still mild with the temp hovering around 50 but there was a 14 mph gusting wind from the South. (The temps will follow the calendar with the high tomorrow in the low 40s.)

Ran a different route this morning with more hills to start getting ready for the Mercedes Marathon. I haven’t put my money down, but I’m sure it is just a matter of time.

Here is the elevation chart and splits from this morning.
