Call this one Slow in the Snow. Half-inch of ice last night, then the snow started around 8 a.m. And it's still coming. At least three inches so far, and enough wind to sting when it blows snowflakes into your grill. But I had the screw-equipped shoes to try out, so out I went. Shoes did fine, although I'm not sure a couple of screws aren't drilled just a tad too far into the soles. No slipping. But I needed a cap to keep the snow from stinging my eyes; it wasn't a blizzard, but I got a taste of what fast-blowing snow is like. And running in that stuff is like running barefoot up a sand dune. You feel like you sink in two inches on every stride, and a lot of them you DO sink in two inches. Anyway, struggled out 5.26 at 10:45 average pace, but the hams and quads will feel like I've gone much farther/faster. |
