2.92 miles in 24:43

by the time i got out to run this post-breakfast loop around town, the snow that had been falling pretty much non-stop all night had tapered off to nothing. the wind was absolutely calm and the sun, though you couldn't see it for all the cloud cover, was up making it a bit easier to see where i was going.

i made a valiant effort to beat my pre-breakfast cycling time on this route, but just couldn't pull off the upset. i had to be a bit more cautious than i had planned since more cars had been out to pack down the snow and expose the slippery slush below.

still, i had fun...more fun than any adult should be allowed to have in the snow. adults are supposed to be cranky and complain about the road conditions. not me! this was a treat! may even go out again at noon. we'll see.

i should get my fill of snow runs and rides this week. the predicted high temps aren't supposed to get above freezing until sometime on friday. could make basketball game trips and such very interesting.
