| Mid-week run in Ipswich |
Another week in the books. We had our first snow of the season, though I got out of running in it times two.

| Staying inside the Equinox for as long as possible |
Saturday’s long run was my first with the team. I woke up to a 9-degree morning (brrrr!) so it was nice to have some camaraderie and motivation to get out there. It warmed up a *bit*, but the wind chill kept it below 10. It’s been awhile since I have been out in that kind of weather and had a hard time figuring out what to wear…settled on double layers, my warmest running shirt and my fleece-lined running jacket, which just happens to be orange (my team color). I debuted a new Run for Research hat (swag from the American Liver Foundation) and a new running belt I picked up at REI last weekend. I had gotten used to running with my phone, and am excited to be hands-free!
After the run, I got to enjoy some leftovers from earlier in the week: sweet potato chana masala. It was a warm, hearty, and yummy recovery meal. I got to be a bump on a log for a little bit (caught up on The Voice and Top Chef, wrapped some Christmas presents), then headed out to watch UNC beat Kentucky. Congrats to my Tar Heels!
I also discovered the Pocket yoga app ($2.99) which I have really enjoyed using on cross-training days.
