When I woke up today there was a little bit of snow falling. I was planning on doing my 5 mile run today. Once I got Rach to school and was ready to run, it looked like this outside:
I figured it didn't look so bad so I headed to the park to run around the track. Halfway to the park the ground looked like this:
It was pretty slippery, I had to slow down and really watch where I stepped but I figured even if I didn't get 5 miles done I could do 3. I wasn't really cold but the snow in my face made it hard to see. It wasn't too bad so I just decided I might as well do the full 5, I was already wet 2 more miles wouldn't make much of a difference.
At 3.5 miles I looked like this:
I just kept going, it was so quiet and if it wasn't for the little icicles on my eyelashes blocking my vision it would have been the perfect run.When I finally got home it looked like this:
Looks like I will be shoveling my driveway today. But I am glad I got out there and finished my run.
This week I need to do 3 miles tomorrow or Friday and hopefully 10 miles on Saturday. (It is supposed to be snowing that day too.) I am excited and nervous about that distance.
It's freaking freezing out there. I was angry just walking to the car to take kids to school. Not sure how you ran 5 miles in this mess!!
