My watch got screwed up on this run somewhere, so the distance is not exact. It was a snowstormy morning, slid down my driveway (15% decline) with about 4 inches on it, and got to our meeting place late because I had to drive slow. Even with going 12 mph, AWD, and in lowest gear I still slid coming down Woodland Hills drive on patchy areas. The things I do for running! It was even more dangerous coming back up 1.75 hours later, but I made it up. As for the run, it's hard to keep your pace up when you are running in slush and it's snowing. It was just Mac and I and we did a loop through Payson. I stepped in a huge pothole at around mile 5 and got the leaden leg feeling. We had several cars spray us, even hitting our faces, with slush. Good times. In the last mile or so Mac hit her own pothole and got soaked to the ankle. Amazingly enough this has been the most enjoyable run of the week. I will take slush over wind. I am going to run a bath and raise my core temperature now. Mizuno.
Evening ab workout. Feel the burn!
