Running into trouble...week of 11/30/08

[Urlea]

Jes: Good to "see" you! Running in the snow despite the cold is really beautiful.

I got another 5.3 miler in yesterday. Decided to do my new route in reverse in hopes of avoiding getting blasted by the 15-20mph winds. It worked. The portion that was into the wind was blocked by the creek embankment and trees.

Other then that it was a very tiring run. Almost got hit by a truck not obeying traffic lights & I have to run about 1.5 miles in about 6" of snow right now since the city has decided that the path doesn't need to be cleared for that section. It will make me stronger, but I'd rather not start out the run with muscle fatigue in my legs. Still glad I got out though.

Not sure about tomorrow's run. I might be stuck on the dreadmill. It's a high of -17 tomorrow. I had kind of told myself I wouldn't run if it was below -10. Depends on the wind and if there's sun. It's about -8 right now with 45-50mph winds with new snow. (Yes that's a blizzard & no, there is no leaving the house today.) I'll let you know.

Hope the rest of you had great runs this weekend!!!
