We got about 6 inches of snow today in my part of Ohio. With the roads being so bad I couldn't make it to Crossfit so, I decided to go for a run instead.
When it snows like this and the wind isn't blowing, it is near perfect running weather.
Maybe it is more like playing in the snow than running.
I went off and forgot my Yak Trax and I regretted not going back for them. Every step I made down the road was miserable as the snow was so dry and powdery that I had no traction.
I had planned on 5 or 6 miles, but I decided to play it smart and head back after about a mile and a half. I figured 3 miles was better than nothing.
I did shovel snow for about an hour tonight adding to my daily workout. I was even nice and shoveled my neighbors’ sidewalks and driveways. -Only two of them. I can’t do the entire neighborhood.
Totals: 3 miles...snowy roads.

Nice! I think I am going to try some Katoolas as the Yak Tracks give me blisters on the long runs.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a blast! Unfortunately, it's just ass-cold here and not actually snowy. I wish it were snowy.
ReplyDeleteThat does look like fun.
