Well that sucked. In fact, it was the suckiest suck that ever sucked. I looked out the window and saw clear roads and headed out in the 12:00 hour. It was snowing lightly but not too bad. About three miles in, it started coming down harder and the road accumulation became a problem. Particularly slippery on the uphills. Wasatch out and back in 63:36.

I have these shoes my brother in law got somewhere and didn't like. I don't like them either but they are made for the cold and did the job today. They are a bit clunky but have no breathable fabric so a fortress of dry. I usually use them on treadmill runs because I don't mind wearing down shoes I don't care about.

I'm starting to wonder if I will make it home ok...

But how about the air quality and snowpack enhancement?! :-)

'tis the season for 8+ minute pace and being really flexible w/ your workout schedule...

I hear what you're saying there Coach K, but you know how it goes. This pace helps me fit in the mileage in the lunch hour. I was a bit flexible because I wanted to go closer to 6:30 pace and get in 9.5 - 10 :)

I can't believe anyone can even run 8-minute pace on snow, slush, scary! More snow on the way - STOKE!!!
