| Well today I turned 33. A big number for me since at least 1996 and maybe even longer... For the last ten years my plan was to run 33 miles today. But for a number of obvious reasons that would not have been a good idea. Plan B was to run a time trial style 5K this morning but for a number of other reasons including fresh snow on the ground I opted not to do that either. So Plan C was to run a half marathon today to give me 33 miles for the week. This plan worked out. I did the run in two parts. Part A was 10 miles on my own that consisted of an extended home loop with the extension out to 33rd south and then up it! I ended those 10 miles just in time to meet up with the rest of the family. To push the girls for a 5K to get my 13.11 mi. The run was nice with more than half of it in untouched snow. There is something special about being the first to put your foot prints in fresh snow. Avg. 8:49 HR 137
