Snow Running

Since I am on vacation this week I have gotten in a very lazy mood. I was supposed to do my sprint workout yesterday but decided that my legs needed a rest. Yesterday it was almost 40 degrees out with sun and no snow. This morning I woke up at 7am to get a head start and get to the track but it was blizzarding out!! I put off my running until 9am then finally headed down to the track with my mom.

Of course the track still had about an inch of snow on it but I was already dressed in all my gear and so I decided to just get it over with. I ran 3 laps warm up then did 3 laps of running/sprinting the straightaways and jogging the curves. My legs felt pretty good and I continued on with 4x400m. These 400s were SO slow! Although I had done 6 laps on the track already there was still alot of snow and where I had run my footprints were turning into mushy prints. So it was hard and I tried to run where there weren't already footprints so that I could get a little traction. I now know that I hate running in the snow!! I feel ready for the Turkey Trot tomorrow so I am hoping to finish under 34 minutes which would be at my slowest a 7:45 min/mile pace.

In other news, I have been Suzy homemaker here. I just finished crocheting a scarf and I am about to start another one for Christmas gifts and I also made two cross-stitch ornaments! I have been known to be crafty but this is crazy!! I am on a roll! My reading per day is now suffering due to my craftiness but I am reading Dean's 50/50 book FINALLY and it really good!

Anyway - Good luck to everyone running in races tomorrow! Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
