let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..... NOT. Let's hope it's over for awhile. Well, Washington DC broke the record for snowfall in a single season. 55.6 inches this season. *And* they measure in a place where they don't have a lot of snow. National (Reagan) Airport (the official measuring place) got 17.1 inches of snow last weekend, whereas I got 24 inches of snow in the same time period. Anyway, a record is a record... :)
Today, I fought through 4.5 miles in icy/slushy/snowy mix. In some parts, it felt like I was running in sand. I felt sluggish and slow. Plus it was blowing around 20 mph, so it felt a little cold as well (although it was a balmy 29 degrees). Still, I guess I overdressed, because I didn't feel that cold, even with the wind in my face. It felt refreshing, actually (except for the actual running part -- that felt terrible). So, not a good run, but better than not running at all, I guess. I am getting tired of running in my neighborhood, but it'll take a week or two for the snow to melt off the paths so that I can run elsewhere. With the reduced driving lanes, I'm also being extra cautious on the roads, because the drivers are having trouble just going down the road; they don't need some upstart pedestrian getting in their way :)
Still, no running record for sure, but 3 runs this week, with a possible 2 runs to go this week (although not likely).
