Philly weather pulled a fast one

Ran a bit over 7 miles today - this seems to be my body's preferred distance as of late. I should start doing some speedwork though. I'm never that tired when I finish and I do want to improve my average pace from 9:00min/mile to more 8:30ish.
It got REALLy cold REALLY fast tonight....I headed out around 7PM and it was a little chilly, but quite tolerable when you're running. Then at around mile 5, it got dark and cold all of a sudden (maybe I was completely zoning out during the previous few miles) and I started running faster just to stay warm. By the time I got back to my apartment, my arms were numb and I couldn't move my fingers. A hot shower and an omelette later though, all was well.....
