Had a long run planned for today. We headed out early to try and beat the incoming bad weather. I picked up Barry Smith at 5:45 and we drove to the top of Buckskin. We started a little after 6:00 and it was fairly nice, 29 degrees and calm. After about 6 miles or so it started to snow, but not really bad. After another couple of miles the wind started blowing in our faces and it was snowing harder. It was like getting sandblasted. We made the turn after mile 13 and the wind was not in our face as much and the snow was more of a sleet/snow mix. I was getting pretty soaked by this point. By the time our ride came to get us I was running fairly slow and was glad to see them. We ran 18.49 miles and I was not really happy about my last couple of miles. I need more longer runs.
