Notes
Today slow going due to the footing. A dusting of snow over rutted frozen dirt path and trail which gave every step a little slip. In some spots (particularly bridges or boardwalk sections) it was bumpy uneven ice covered with dusty snow so I had to walk. I am thinking I need some yaktracks and/or a gym membership. And to find more good plowed paved routes.
The terrain was a little frustrating, but I just kept going. I was thinking how different my run of a year ago was: a 3:44 marathon on a South Carolina island with signs warning passers-by of alligators in the ponds. What a contrast. Today I saw cardinals, blue jays, and deer in the snow.
I was much slower than I usually would be and the run was not the best for quality marathon training (good if I was training for an ultra), but I really enjoyed myself. It was like playing in the snow as a kid.
