Thirteen fabulous miles in the winter wonderland! Loved it. I just wish that they would plow a few inches past the white line. It was all frozen slush rocks, not soft snow :( I did a lot of sidewalk running to escape certain death on the roads, but then the hole in the heel of my mizunos (they have a horseshoe shape on the heel, not a real hole to the inside) would fill with snow and I'd be running on my toes. Crazy. Still loved being out on the road! Sleep in and still run, yup the only good thing about winter. Best part was about 1/4 mile away from home I was trying to move to the side of the road and went a little too far into the gutter/edge - stepped in a hole of icy water up to my ankles. BRRRRR! All the cars driving down the street got a crazy dance out of me as I tried to run/jump/flail onto dry ground. Good thing I was almost home - and wore old shoes, actually they were the mud ones from 2 weeks ago with Smooth, so I guess they needed the bath :) Good times out on the road, I forget how much I love the hills out here...just plain forget (insert sarcasm font). TT: 1:58:35 AP: 8:54 (not all that fabulous, but I'm going to blame the snow. Plus I was just out enjoying it. I honestly didn't care about pace! Especially since my slowest mile was downhill, but in the snow packed sidewalk, I think I have a right to blame the snow and slush rocks :) ) Splits: 8:52, 8:40, 8:35, 8:44, 9:08, 9:22, 8:21, 8:50, 8:54, 9:17, 8:50, 9:13, 9:06, 8:38 - last .3
