The plan was to run over to Kory's house this morning, run 5-6 miles with him, and then run home.....that was the plan.....

When I got up this morning we were in a blizzard.  There was 4+ inches of heavy wet snow with 30+mph winds.  I decided to just drive over to Kory's instead because the roads were so bad and it is always better by his house because he lives more on the valley floor.

Kory, Barry, and I ran 6 miles in the slop, slush and heavy winds but it wasn't too bad because we spent the whole time talking and catching up since it has been a long time since I have talked to either of them.  It was good to see Kory running again....

I am not too worried about the mileage today as I am going to spend all day outside loading a construction dumpster with stuff from my yard....it is such a lovely day (not) for it.

I was way too wiped-out this morning after all the outside work I did yesterday.  My back and shoulders are killing me, but at least I completed all the destruction and hauling away I wanted to finish!

It was 27 degrees this morning with some cold breezes on the back side of Buckskin.  Barry and I ran the marathon course all the way to Century High School without the out and back at mile 7.  We ran 20.21 miles and kept a good pace the whole way.  My pain level was lower than it has been in quite a while.
