Weather - 37 degrees, cloudy.

Running 28 miles in snow did not take much out of me, perhaps because I have run numerous 20+ milers in the snow already. I have a stiff right knee, which I believe will clear up in 2 or 3 days. Other than that, just general fatigue, with no muscle soreness.

My energy was sky high today, and it was warmer than it has been in weeks, but I took it easy and ran just 2 miles, plus some strength exercises.

I already want to get back out and do some long runs. It is definitely in my blood now.

Will,

I just read your race report from Saturday. AWESOME JOB!!! I can't wait to see what you can accomplish in good conditions.

So 28 miles in the wind and the snow didn't calm those horses that are busting out of the barn, eh? You are amazing.

Thanks, Bill. I am discovering just how much fun running long distance can be.

Carolyn - I love it, I can't wait to get back out on South Farms to mix it up!
