Saturday night's freezing rain left a very thick layer of ice and Sunday's blizzard left four inches of snow. It took a half an hour to clear off the car, so it was safe to drive. My fingers were so cold in my gloves. It was 7 degrees, but the wind chill was -14. Will and I were on our way to the indoor track. We drove very slowly. Our tires spun a bit here and there, but we made it safely there and back.
The run went well. I think they reverse direction every week. We were turning right today which is harder on me because the jogging stroller veers to the left. But, all in all, the run was relaxing--very comfortable pace. Although my hamstrings were tight, the six strides went well. I felt strong. Will did well also. He ate a roll that I made yesterday, copied the motions of the group of girls doing crunches (he put his hands on either side of his head, had his elbows out, and would bend forward), and said "hi" to most of the runners we passed.
After the run, I needed to use restroom. Will got to run down the straight-a-way on our way to and from the restroom. He ran right down the middle of the outside lane. He was so happy to be on the track with all the other runners. What a cute guy.
