What a miserable run today! It's been snowing, and nobody cleans the snow here, so it was about an inch of wet snow/slush. Footing was awful, I was sliding and slipping all the way, and my feet were wet and freezing from splashing chunks of snow that were melting into my shoes.
On top of that, I had to do 6x800. Track was out of the question, completely snowed in, so I ran on the roads, trying to pick drier spots. Some of the repeats were a bit uphill, and in combination with bad footing, times were totally off. I did 5, and had enough. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Total time 1:13:50. Here are the splits for 800s:
| Time |
Rest |
| 3:35 |
4:11 (looking for better footing) |
| 3:48 (uphill + snow) |
4:22 |
| 3:31 (finally decent patch of road) |
3:30 |
| 3:40 (started going uphill at the end) |
3:40 |
| 3:54 (more uphill and awful footing) |
