faster with age

     There was a lot of new snow falling this morning so I was running in a lot of fresh snow. I tried to stick to the tracks left from cars and it helped a little with the footing. When I turned up the road to the reservoir where no vehicles had driven and I was running in about 8 inches of new snow. It was fun but after 1 1/2 miles of that I decided it was to much work for what was supposed to be a recovery run even though I was running as slow as 11:30 pace on some of the uphill parts. I turned around and finished the run on the roads where the footing was still poor and running was slow but much easier than the 3 miles I did on fresh snow. It would have been fun to go a lot farther in the fresh snow If it had been a day I was looking for a harder workout. 8 miles total at 9:50 ave pace.
