8 mile run this morning. Wow for the first time in my running career in STG I had to run in snow and ice. It rained most of the day yesterday and into the night it started to turn into ice and snow. My putting green in the back yard has about an inch and a half of standing snow on it! So the running conditions were slick. I tried to stay on the paved road as much as possible but in some places there was a thin layer of black ice and I'd be sliding all over. Other than that it was a pretty nice morning out. The cloud cover kept it fairly warm. Glad to be back running again. The weather said that by the end of the week it will be 62 degrees here. Smile. (115.9 Blue stratus) 12 mile run this afternoon. I went out and was feeling pretty good. I got into a pretty good groove and just stayed in in that gear. I ran up into GS and did that loop twice and then came back and circled around Middleton until I hit 12 miles. Hit 6:35 min mile pace for the run. |
