Forums > General Running > Snow hell- first run in 2 weeks
I will run outside at all cost........I just don't know how you guys can run on treadmills. Anyway, night before last.....about 2 inches fresh snow and a miserable 7 miles yesterday AM.........then another inch or two overnight last night. Today I hoped to get 10 in, but just couldn't do it......did the same 7 as yesterday. I am SOOOO sick and tired of this darn winter....UGH!!!
I did 18 miles on the treadmill last weekend cause we had about 50inches of snow. I get a good movie and try not to think about my legs... much prefer the road, but when there is so much snow, not many other choices.

I look my best blurry!

Two days of temperatures close to 40 - finally some melting. We had 4 feet everywhere plus drifts of 10-11 feet after the 2nd storm Feb. 10-11...52 inches fell in 6 days. Still though many sidewalks aren't clear and roads are narrow so on poorly or non-lit back roads I like to run on there is nowhere to go if a car comes. This is pretty unusual to have snow on the ground for a solid month here - plus the 2 weeks + we had heavy snow cover in December! Last year the snow didn't stick for more than 2 days at a time and only once fell enough (March 2) that I had to take a few days inside until it melted off.
Therefore I've been exclusively treadmill - 41 miles last week. Luckily there have been the Winter Olympics to watch. Supposed to get some rain the next few days, maybe by next weekend it will be down enough to finally go back outside! I haven't run outside since Feb. 2 or 3. If I can get through all these treadmill runs the spring should be no problem!

Thank god you have a treadmill, I don't
A few times this past month I thought I was back in Montana, except that they are better at keeping the roads clear. I worked securing Nuke Missiles and they are spread out over an area almost the size of Indiana and in the boonies Hell most of Montana are the boonies. But in 4 winters NOT once was a crew positing missed!!
So far this winter and living just a mile from the state road I have missed 4 days of work!! Thank God I have almost 600 hrs of Sick Leave on the books!!!!!!
