i dont know how "easy" todays miles actually were..full-fledged blizzard conditions outside with a few inches of snow underfoot and below zero windchills with 20-30mph winds hammering me the whole run. needless to say i didnt take splits today, just got a total time of 31:14, 7:49 avg pace, which given the conditions was definitely a win! barely any traction the entire run, slippin and sliding, bundled up big time, today was the mental equivalent of 10 miles.

 

In other news, signed up for the Prague Marathon officially last night. registration is in and on may 13, 2012, i will make that dream a reality! goal is sub 3!

Sounds pretty rough in IA today! Way to build that mental toughness.

yea, we've had a blessed winter so far with little bad weather, but today reminded me that blizzard running is always challenging!
