We went to the park this afternoon, to run on the paved trails. I had intended to run five miles, same as I would have run with the St Croix Valley Runners this morning if I hadn't chickened out of that too. Seven degrees indeed.

This afternoon the temperature was better, 26 degrees, but the wind was sharp, and I had eaten rather recently, and I just didn't feel much like running. I finished one loop of 2.51 miles, stopped at a portable toilet near the car, and decided to skip the second loop. Usually running is fun, and I wasn't having fun. I could have kept going - just didn't want to.
I did OK anyway though, time 22:43, for a pace of 9:03. That’s good enough, considering that I slowed to a walk over a few patches of snow that might have had ice beneath. We’ll probably go a little longer and maybe slower on Monday, indoors.
