I woke up to the sound of rain this morning, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30s. I wasn't sure if I'd get this run in today, or if perhaps I'd at least need to wait until we returned home later in the day and hit the treadmill at the gym. As luck would have it, the rain eventually let up, and I was convinced that a route through my Mom's neighborhood would work just fine for Week 9, Day 1 of the Couch-to-5K Running Plan. So I set out mapping my route, and was able to get a nice .67 mile loop. Improperly bundled up, I headed out (note: when the temperature is in the 30s, just wear the hat and gloves).

Week 9, Day 1 requires a 5 minute brisk walk, followed by 30 minutes of running, for a total duration of 35 minutes. Using Map My Run, the total distance convered is estimated to be 3.37 miles. Here are the details:
