    "fury in the flurries"

    Met the "team" (Brenda and Ryan) for a speed workout. She suggested we do them on this mile long stretch of road for a change of scenery.

    Hey Winchester folks...who's up for a shirtless, snowy run tomorrow? Looks like the snow is supposed to start at 9:00am. Any takers/suggestions?

    I offered my shoveling expertise to my Grandparents and they took me up on the offer. They said they'd pay me in apple pie. How could I resist?

    goodshoveling done, time for a run – 10.34 mi / 01:16 07:22 pace

    After nine sessions of shoveling snow, my driveway is finally clear. According to my calculations, I displaced over 280,000 inches cubed of snow.
    As for the run; a little slick, sloshy and rather uneventful. Legs were tired from shoveling.

    greatsnowy (part shirtless) run – 9 mi / 01:07 07:29 pace

    Ran 2 miles to meet up with Jordan, Katie and Ryan for a run in the snow. I took off my shirt on the way back and the others followed suit. Needless we got some looks and quite a few honks.
    2 miles home.

    We need to make this a requirement for each sno... read more

    Looks like I won't be making it to the Krispy Kreme Challenge. This threat of a huge snow storm is getting serious. Although the race (~6 hours south) won't be getting snow, it's the getting back home that I'm concerned about.
    This totally sucks becaus... read more

      If you get stuck in the snow you can use the spray of your own hot puke to melt it and get traction. Something to consider.

      I agree, I was suppose to run this race too. I was really looking forward to this race. It seemed like it would have been an awesome time.

      Awww, too bad :(( I was hoping to live vicariously through you for this event. Maybe we'll have to arrange our own Daily Mile Donut (DMD) event!

    Met up with Jordan for a nice run this morning. We kept it easy for the first few miles and picked it up the last ~4.

    greatmid week distance – 9.64 mi / 01:08 07:05 pace

    I probably should make these mid-week runs slower. I started out fast and just kept it there.

    greattuesday track team – 7 mi / 00:49 07:02 pace

    Since the track was snow covered, we met up at a local "park." The roads that circle the park make a perfect 800m loop so it's great for race-sim repeats as it's pavement and not flat.

    This was half fartlek/half 800 repeats with a long recov... read more
