4 miles in 12 inches of snow this morning.

16 miles in the afternoon.

I was going to hop on the treadmill because it snowed a ton last night but it was sticking a bit.  I think it might need some more oil to lubricate it and make the belt glide easier.  I was frustrated but ended up going out in the snow and pulling a Sasha by running around my block for 4 miles.  I was dodging cars and snowplows.  I called it after 4 miles because I had to hurry to work.  I also did my 30 minutes of snow shoveling this morning and most likely will do more later.  Yeah!  I can't wait!

I was happy to look outside after school and see beautiful, sunny skies.  I ran an easy 6 miles with the distance runners and then did another 10 miles on my own.  It was pretty cold and the legs were a little heavy but I ended up hitting 6 of these miles under 6:00/mile pace.  My fastest mile was 5:33 which felt really good.  I ended up averaging 6:33/mile overall including running with the high school kids.  The weather got really cold once the sun went down.

You better pick it up or you aren't going to get your 30 in for the day. Holy Crap!

What a winter it has been, eh?

I feel your pain. We had about 18 up in eden! That bench run might be doable in snow shoes.

You got to love the snow.

I used to love snow...when I was a kid. It's nothing but a pain now unless you get to sit home and look outside at it. I don't miss the Utah winters.
