I accidentally put Monday's workout on Sunday.  I hate it when I do that.  I'm not going to move it.

We got some snow yesterday, like maybe 4 inches.  It was also pretty windy, blowing the stuff around.  Going to work this morning was more harrowing than I would have thought, but I made it and so did the majority of the kids, who proceeded to complain.  A lot.  

But they had a half day, so I didn't have to hear it long.

Our teachers have parent/teacher/student conferences tonight, so I went out for a run at school in the early afternoon, since I will then stay here till 7:30.  I went out in the streets behind the school, which aren't currently in use, as the "subdivision" streets were laid out before the economy went south, and no one has plans to build out there any time soon.  It's about a 2 mile loop of roads with a number of retention ponds.

I made the mistake of running around 2 of the ponds, and halfway through I stepped in an ankle deep puddle, soaking myself.  It was cold for a second, I contemplated heading back, and then pretty soon my feet were warm again, as tends to happen.

It was slower than normal pace because it alternated between slushiness, iciness, and snow-drify-ness.  But I enjoyed myself.

Good for you for sticking to your guns and not moving the blog entry. Hey, you guys have unfinished subdivisions up there, too? Glad we're not the only ones that got Fanny raped. The capital F clarifies that that is a metaphor.
