Met Ben Riley Albert and Bret in North Ogden. Temp said 22 but man it felt way colder. It might also be because I shaved off my beard. I miss my man scarf. Minimal pain. Was kinda giddy the whole run to be back out with the boys. Looking forward to some good mileage the next couple weeks.

After reading Riley Cook's 2013 Running Awards, I thought it would be fun to open some of the awards up to a vote so I made a survey. If I left anyone off, I did this quickly on a whim so I meant no offense. Write them in, and they will be listed as a choice for future Voters.
