What next?!

This winter has been about overcoming adversity, and until now I think I've been doing a pretty good job. Daylight savings rolled around and I learned to run in the dark after work and modified my routs to where there were more street lights. I bought a headlamp, and when that one was defective I even went back into Harvard Square (where there is never any parking, ever) to replace it. It got cold and I put on layers and toughened up. Then it snowed, and I learned how to run on the snow. When the snow turned to ice I began running in the road and risked life and limb running on patches of black ice.

Then it was above freezing for one day, just long enough for the snow to melt and get in one run on real, honest-to-god sidewalk. And now THIS BULLSHIT:
... some eight horrible inches of awful snow! And it's supposed to snow twice more before the weekend's out. What ever happened to global warming?!

Yeah but running in deep snow will be perfect training for next years torturous stair climbing event. I can see definite pb potential.
Now get out there and keep those knees up high!

aye...wow...the snow has hit HARD out east. Sorry to hear you aren't getting that global warming that was supposed to be dished up.
