snow run

ever wonder what it'd be like to run in the snow?

it's pretty cool.

feels like more of an accomplishment.

ever run in the rain?

no run. well yes, it is fun. but you get wet.

ever wonder what it'd be like to run while it's snowing?

cease your wondering.

i'll tell you.

it's fun. slightly ridiculous, but fun.

marathon training stops for nothing.

i decided to do my long run today. it snowed earlier but it stopped and weather.com said it wouldn't start again until 9 or 10 pm. well we know we can't always trust weather.com {like when everyday it said it was going to snow but then it was sunny instead.} it was wrong again today, but this time not in my favor.

so i started my 11 mile run. mile 2 it starts flurrying. so just some snow flakes. then more. and more. and mile 3/4 it was really coming down. i mean like blizzard snowing down. then it was slushy blizzarding. not quite rain but not quite snow. hit and melt, but still sticking a little.

but it was so fun. and it wasn't any colder than i've been running in, so i didn't mind it much. and my nike kept me warm. and i was wearing my nike capris--not even tights+pants and my legs weren't even cold!

so note to self: you can do it, heidi. you can run in the snow. there's no excuse. [unless it's colder than it was and windy or hailing, or raining.]

oh...and i ran by a dead deer. that's a story. at least i wasn't attacked by a pit bull.
