Ack, it's snowing and being new to running i wasn't to sure what i wanted to do. I did so looking around the internet and found stuff that talked about the right kind of snows, don't have them, and to bring extra socks, noper, run where it's plowed, they don't plow here and that running in snow was almost like running on the beach...oh great. Well i finally just go up from my desk, put my running stuff on, with a hat because it was also about 25 degrees, and headed out. It was slippery and cold, i was getting snow in my mouth, which i guess could work as re-hydration, and in my eyes. Lucky it wasn't much snow, just about an inch or so but it was still cold enough for it not to melt. It was hard, maybe not as hard as sand but i definitely felt a difference, my ankles and shins hurt more because i was trying to stay on the sidewalk where it was clearer most of the time. I also felt a little safer there too but had to move back to the street when my legs were hurting too much and it really made a difference. I also had to slow down a lot but better safe then sorry. I had to push myself but i made the 2.8 i guess this makes me one of those people i thought were crazy for running when snowing...does that make me a real runner...
btw - the "cold" is gone, i guess i just ran it out of my body ;)
