It was 10 degrees warmer today and the wind was minimal so out we went. It was really a pretty nice day. The track kids were also out and about. I ran 2 with the dogs but the road was not clear from last night's 3 inches that was supposed to be only be 1 inch. So I slipped and slid my way along. The dogs were really annoying today. I don't know if there is a change in the weather coming or what. They kept running ahead then back to me then around me. Bayly slid into me and almost knocked me over. So I was more than happy to be done with them. I did the last 2 on the bike path. Somebody cleared it and the sun had melted what was left so I had a clear route. Much easier running. I think I will stay on hard surfaces until things clear up. And I am not even going to try speed work until the snow and ice are gone. Which means I will have to be on the TM for speed work. "Sandbag Central" reported they have 2.4 million bags ready to go. They are shutting down this Saturday. Now it is a wait and see. The next flood report comes out in about 10 days. So far nothing has changed from their earlier predictions. |
