These were slow miles indeed. There was a blanket of snow on the ground (2-3 inches) and snow was still lightly falling, which made it difficult. I chose my route unwisely at first. I headed toward the bike path. I thought it would be plowed, but I forgot that today's a holiday. Then I ran on the snowy roads. I stopped to kick out my legs at 4 miles and 5 miles. They were tight from the shorter steps and the effort to stop myself from sliding. It's possible that I will run again tonight, but it's just as possible that I won't.
