SNOW!!

If there would have been a morning group I would have gone to it and run in clear skies.  But as it was, Coach D only held an afternoon group today so we got to run in the snow!  Actually it stopped snowing during our warm up and the path was only wet with a few puddles here and there.  The trees and grass had a light dusting and snow clumps were dripping off the trees. Our first snow of the season...Beautiful!  I can't believe it waited so long to come this year!

Anyway, I met my team at East Boulder Commnity park.  We did a 20 min. warm-up, stretching, and strides.

4X45 seconds quick turnover to get our legs moving (5:20-5:40 pace) 75 sec. jog between each

5 minutes steady controlled (5:48 pace)

2 min jog 

6X90 seconds hard with 1 min. jog between each (5:20-5:40 pace)

5 minutes steady controlled (5:57 pace)

10 minute cool down

 It got dark after our warm up so we turned our headlamps on.  After the 4X45 second set I took off my jacket and had my bright neon yellow Baltimore marathon long sleeve on, which was pretty much glow in the dark.  That shirt is pretty awesome for night running.
