A balmy 17*F this morning so I was able to lose a lot of the layers I've been wearing lately; I just wore baggy swim trunks and a long sleeve poly T shirt under my lined running pants and windbreaker. It felt nice to not have a ton of layers on. And I actually had clear shoulders for a reasonable amount of distance! I've totally gotten over feeling guilty about taking the lane on heavily trafficed 55 MPH roads when it's necessary to stay on pavement, but at the same time I'd just as soon move out of the way. In all it was nice and smooth.

It's now up to TWENTY NINE DEGREES! Inconceivable! And I get to ride home at mid-day today after a dental checkup!

Also, got my first yell in a long time - a left-turner at a light I was going through rolled down the passenger window and yelled "AWESOME LIGHT!" - I have a Dinotte 140L taillight.
