AM - Woke up at 4:30am to an eventful morning as there was about 6 inches of snow in my driveway that needed shoveling before I could head down to Sasha's. Made it about 10 minutes late and caught Sasha as he was leaving without me. He turned around and fell as he ran around the corner to meet up with me. So we headed out on the trail and it was covered with a fresh layer of 4-6 inches of snow and it was snowing heavily the whole run. Pretty slow the whole way but we did test how fast we could run for one mile and hit a 6:29 but this was hard as the feet were really slipping on every push-off. We ended up running just under 8 minute pace the whole way. No additional falls but a few close calls as in some spots there is still ice under the snow on the trail. Then both I and Sarah's running partners cars were stuck at Sasha house. We eventually got them going but going back and forth slowly until we got enough momentum to get out of the curb area on the side of the road. It was interesting getting back to my house as I had to find a more round about way since people were stuck on the hill going up the normal route to my house. By the time I left for work I shoveled an additional 6 inches out of the driveway so we have had over a foot of snow and it is still snowing pretty heavy right now. |
