Didn't realize so much snow fell over the weekend. Sidewalks were covered/drifted over in most places & the roads were drifted/icy too. In conditions like that it doesn't matter what kind of shoes you are wearing so I decided to go with the VFFs, sometimes I have a better shot of grabbing the ground with my toes then. It worked. My pace was all over the place sub 8mm to 10:40mm depending on footing & after checking it is as windy as it felt out there. 20-25mph! Made it 9 miles though. Happy with that.
