Today I ventured out onto the trail. Wet snow -- some areas 2 inches, and other areas have 6 inches still; slush and ice underneath. What a mess!!!! I did 3.5 miles and it felt like 10!

So my feet were completely soaked -- I dropped the dog off at the house after 3.5 miles, changed socks & shoes, downed a Gel and water, and headed out on the road to do another 3.75 miles. Total somewhere between 7 and 7.5. My calves were quite angry with me before mile 5!!!

It will get better here for running -- I hope soon! I had to dodge cars on the road cuz they've only plowed about 3/4 of the street -- the rest is all piled up and there is no "side of the road". Scary stuff!

It feels good to have a run under my belt again -- something more than 4 miles!
