6 miles @ 9:53/mi  Solo on Murdoch trail north

Snow was falling but not sticking to the roads. The weather has been pretty good the past couple of weeks but life got in the way of me running. It figures I would wait until it was snowing to get out and run again. Actually, that's okay. When I saw the snow falling this morning, I felt anticipation not dread. I enjoyed the run. I don't know if running will ever be as important to me as it once was, but I think it will always be an old friend that I try to visit as often as I can.

BTW, I have been pretty good at getting in my HICT routine about 3 times a week. I've noted some improvement. When I started months ago I could only do (don't laught) 6 push ups without stopping. I recently did 20.
