Admittedly they weren't the hardest of hard miles but i was pooped (note to self. eat more protein than i did yesterday. or just eat more than i did yesterday...) got up the morning and ran in the pool, dodging old ladies who were willy-nilly with their water aerobics today because their instructor's garage door wouldn't open. they're so cute. i was then going to run from the gym but had left my contacts at home (purposely run without them when in the pool 'cause then i can't see time slow to a near stand-still). by the time i slapped my contacts in and threw on my dad's old yellow hoodie, it was snowing. i followed my little sis out (she was a good mile or more out by the time i left). we were the only two nutty enough to run on the canal road. just her tracks and mine for a while at least. this made the running a little sloggish and tough, battling the wind (burrrrrrr!) and the few inches of snow (worse in the drifts). we were smart though, against the wind first and then with the wind for most of the rest of the run (except that the wind changed directions just a little and the snow bit my face for a few miles). but, it was a nice run. i actually like running in the snow. |
