There was a fresh blanket of snow on the lawn when I got up this morning, but the roads were just wet with slushy spots....at first.  By about mile 7 I was slogging through 2-3 inches of deep/wet snow that completely covered the road, and the snowflakes hitting me were huge.  It was a beautiful scene, but not a day for a fast pace.  I ran 10.71 sloppy miles.

I've haven't felt well most of the week.  Mainly it was the stomach cramps that kept me from running.  About 2 miles in my stomach started to hurt but I "gutted it out", so to speak.  It was 34 degrees, bright and sunny, with light winds.  A very nice morning.  I ran 10.66 miles.
