Another long night with Rose made it hard to get up this morning to run, getting out the door and finding another two inches of snow made it even harder. But, I sucked it up and got out there, and was surprised to see lots of other runners on the road with me. I went to the gym yesterday and jumped rope again, but only for about 5 minutes this time. I made it over 50 consecutive jumps before missing, which may be a personal record. I know the jump rope pays off eventually, but it sure makes for some sore ankles the next day. The uneven footing and slush dodging on the plowed streets sure doesn't help with the ankles, either! I can tell that my conditioning is starting to come back, because I don't feel quite so wiped out after the shorter runs. I can't wait to see how tomorrow's 4.5 miler goes. I'm hoping for some clear streets, but there's more snow in the forecast this afternoon, so I'm not counting on it. GPS output: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/4878589
