Super Slow Slippery Snowy Slog.

7:37 am, 17° to start, 23° at the end, 85% humidity, wind calm and then 5 W. Light snow. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground and plenty of frozen snowplow scrud.

Michelle and Michelle ran to my house and then we met up with Carly, who lives about 4 houses down from me, and the four of us ran a 7 mile loop, then Carly went home. I ran back nearly to their neighborhood with the Michelles, then they peeled off to go home and I continued on by myself. It was a very slow run. I think Michelle and I were both tired and it was really quite slippery. This was the same group today that I'm going to the Canyonlands Half Marathon with in March. I think this was Carly's longest run yet, and she did really well.

We saw some bare foot tracks in the thin layer of freshly fallen snow, so there must be a hard core barefooter around here, but I don't know who it is.

AP: 10:05. Splits: 9:48, 10:01, 9:53, 10:01, 9:56, 10:36, 10:11, 10:31, 10:27, 10:09, 10:00, 10:05, 9;53, 9:51, 9:59, 9:54. I wore the heart rate monitor, but it wasn't getting my heart rate at first because I had my sleeve over the watch and then it started getting my heart rate, but I have no historical data because I neglected to ever start the timer on that watch.

Slow is good. Especially on the slip-n-slide.

WOW - 16 miles in the snow! Fantastic! What are you training for besides Moab?

Newport Oregon marathon on June 5.

The alliteration says it all, and now I am sore. Good job completing the whole 16 miles for the day. Also, no one drove a car again, look how environmentally conscious we are!

Okay your Marathon is the same weekend as mine...so now I feel behind in mileage as far as long runs go...

And second--do you have yaktrax? They sort of hurt my feet today b/c there wans't much snow sticking to the ground but they really do keep down the slippery slides!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 18:23:30 from 24.8.167.243

Yes, I have yaktrax but I'm often not sure whether to wear them or not on the streets because there might be some snowy places and some dry places. I didn't expect there to be fresh snow on the ground for this run, but there was.

They are not very comfy when there isn't much snow on the ground! That is for sure (found that out yesterday!)
