Close call at mile 6
I could hear the cold north wind blowing this morning when I got up and I didn't think I was going to particularly enjoy today's run. But surprisingly it turned out better than I thought.
Ran an average 8:03 pace and felt pretty good after a couple of miles. The wind was a factor but for once I wasn't overdressed and stayed warm but not too warm. The last five miles was the easiest with the wind at my back.
I was startled by a walker at 6 mile mark. It was pitch dark, very early, and he (she?) wasn't wearing anything reflective. I didn't realize the person was walking toward me on the side of the road until I was upon him. Two feet to the left and I would have taken him out.

You should have taken them out anyway for startling you like that.
How many miles did you run?
10 miles... I forgot to add that.
It takes all winter to figure out the right mix of layers for the weather and then spring comes.
Every year it's the same thing.
