I woke up and it was barely snowing and not really sticking so I made my way to the park and bundled up. I forgot my Garmin, but in the end I figured it was a good thing since I wasn't worried about time on this run. I was more concerned with not slipping on the snow. I started off on the trail and the snow started coming down a little bit harder. But it wasn't sticking (yet). If course as soon as I said that the snow started coming down. And sticking. Ugh! I kept going. I can be a bit stubborn at times and I was determined to get my 11 miles in. The snow kept coming down and down and down. It switched from fat fluffy snowflakes to hard hail-like pebbles and back again. The path in front of me looked like a Winter Wonderland. It started coming down extremely hard and I finally turned around and headed back to my car, figuring I could pick up 2 miles somewhere. Or not since it finally dawned on me that if it was accumulating on the trail, it would be accumulating on the road and I didn't want to get stuck since I am a wimp when it comes to the snow.
I got back to my car and since it wasn't too bad I decided to keep going to get the last 2 miles. And of course it started getting bad again - the snow was sticking to my eyelashes but I was so close. Finally I was done with 11 miles (or thereabouts - it was definitely over 10 so I'm rounding up!).
Seen during my run: a snowball fight, a kid on a sled, and several snowmen being built.
The more important question is - is tomorrow going to be a snow day? :)

Let me just say, I'm so in awe of you. I just went for a bike ride and had previously read your post. It was a little cool, about 55, and the wind of course blowing against me instead of with me. I was thinking this is a little colder than I thought it would be, but I can't imagine the wind and cold you are enduring on your runs. My hat is off to you!! I think I would probably not have stepped out the front door. Good luck with your future runs!! Keep it up!

Q: Most everyone in our country believes in a Seventh-Heaven, right? Right. Where we can be free4eternity to anything we wanna besides Mass on Sondays? ...Yet, do you believe in Hell???
A: If you dont, Jesus does: YOU send yourself to a realm beneath this earth for mortal sin WITHOUT repentance after this finite existence (Catholicism, the Truest Church, believes in Purgatory which we ALL git out to N'joy Upstairs forever).
Nevertheless, 1-outta-1 bites-the-dust, bro... yet, that certainly aint TheEnd: we're all Divinely Judged according to OUR deeds on this earth; TheEnd comes when we see eternal Seventh-Heaven -OR- the Abyss o'Misery which is also eternal. never ending. infinite.
Q: Wonder why people CHOOSE Hell where we'll be tortured both physically N psychologically muuuch longer than 999... nonillion years when this lifetime is simply passing-away?
A: Worshipping allah the superficial indifference of this whorizontal world outta ignorance or stupidity: only 2 realms after ourlifelong demise, folks ...and 1 of em aint too cool.
trustNjesus.
ALWAYS.
God bless your indelible soul.
Yes, earthling, Im an NDE.
Let this be your catalyst to Seventh-Heaven:
'The more you shall honor Me,
the more I shall bless you'
-the Infant Jesus of Prague
(<- Czech Republic, next to Russia)
Love him or leave him...
better lissen to the Don:
if you deny o'er-the-Hillary's evil,
which most whorizontalites do,
you cannot deny Hellfire
which YOU send YOURSELF to.
Yes, earthling, I was an NDE:
the sights were beyond extreme.
Choose Jesus.
You'll be most happy you did.
God bless your indelible soul.
