I was snowing lightly when I started out today, but it was coming down hard by the time I finished. I ran easy today but increased my mileage a bit from last week. Run time 56:15.

Fresh snow. I ran up the Mueller Park trail today. I didn't make it all the way to Elephant Rock, I had to turn around about half way up because there was just too much snow. It snowed the whole time I was running.

When I got home I still wanted to finish my hill workout, so I set the treadmill to 12 min miles with an 8% incline and did 3 more miles. Feel the burn.
