A clydesdale no more!

There is something about running in a light snowfall that I really like.  It makes everything seem so peaceful.  I felt really good during the run.  Other than the poor footing, it felt like I was able to move well.  Maybe it had something to do with a more positive attitude (something to be learned there). 

I was planning on a tempo run today but the nasty snow storm made me change my plans.  Ran a snowy, slippery seven miler.  Spent most of my energy trying to stay upright. 

The temperature dropped and the roads where super slippery.  Since there is no way I am going to get any runs in this week that resemble speed work, I decided to run a hilly route today to stimulate the muscles.  Ran up 1800 South to the mouth of Mueller Park canyon.  Didn't work as hard as I should have but it was a good run. 

It was 4 degrees as I started the run.  It actually wasn't that bad once my body warmed up a couple of miles into the run.  Tried to maintain a decent pace through out the run with a couple of pick ups whenever I came across a clear patch of road.

Just a nice and easy run.  I have almost adjusted to the cold weather.

Drove to the LPT trail head to get in a few miles before the club run.  The trail was packed with snow so I ran on the roads instead. It was 20 degrees and actually felt balmy compared to every other run this week.  The roads where snow covered so the pace was slow but felt good otherwise.  Ran 10 miles before the club run then ran 5 miles with Jim, Trevor and Julie Thomas.  Julie spoke at our monthly mingle and it was fun hearing about her training, etc.
