I'm pretty sure this is the heaviest snowfall I've ever seen -- and I still got out and ran in it. Nine inches on the ground and it's not anywhere near letting up, much less stopping. Twenty-mph wind doesn't help either. In spite of all that, got in 3.77, which felt more like 8 with all the high knee lifting required to negotiate deep snow.
In place of running Hogeye (full, half or 5K), I believe I will run Iron Pig instead, which is, among other things, a 5K on the runway at Drake Field. There is also a duathlon (run-bike-run) and a couple of other events, but since I don't own a bike, the duathlon is out. But a 5K on a flat runway would seem to offer a good chance to get a nice fast time/PR. Then I'll aim for Toad Suck for the third straight year. Ten-Ks are hard to find around here and I know it's a manageable course, so maybe if we don't get another frog-strangling thunderstorm I can get another PR. |
