Distance of 5.5 miles is approximate.  Time is unknown.  Battery was too low on GPS.  Temperature was warmer than the forcast (34) for which I can be thankful.  I felt pretty good running this morning and felt like I had a good run.

Skipped the Turkey trot, which was a 4 mile run because we had a birthday breakfast for my son before a trek to North Salt Lake for Thanksgiving dinner.

But, I got up early and ran 10.08 miles in 1:38:16.  Never really warmed up, and for good reason.  I saw 4 temperature readings at 6 degrees, 8 degrees, 11 degrees, and 12 degrees.  I dressed up to the max, but my fingers were still so frozen that I couldn't feel anything to untie my laces when I got back home.

Started limping pretty badly at mile 7.  I got a pain in the front of my left foot and I have been limping around all day.  Not sure what to do about this, but I think I better not run for a while.
