Today was fantastic!! It was not what we had planned. We were going to go 10 miles but we were derailed by the weather. We decided to just head out and see what we could do. The first 2 miles were a little rough, getting out of our neighborhood. Once we made it to the main roads it wasn't to bad except for puddles and being sprayed with slush by passing cars. Due to the fact that we could not break an speed records, we took this opportunity to really catch up and chat, practice our ice skating, work on our acrobatic moves as we dodged puddles and big piles of snow. It has been a long time since I have had a run that was just pure joy, I am usually thinking of go faster, work on your form and may other essential but not fun things. I am grateful today for a running partner who will go out whenever and is game to try anything. She is the best. I cannot believe that I am also going to say that I am grateful for snow, becuase without it today would have been just another run. Happy Running!
