I decided to change it up and a hilly 6 mile loop, which I hadn't run since beginning of November. I have avoided the route because part it is not plowed, but I was in need of some change in scenery.
I loved the run. It was fun trudging through the five inches of snow. Every once and a while I'd be surprised by a snow drift and unexpectedly sink another foot. But, the view was great. The creek that follows the trail was not only covered in ice, but snow, too. Quiet and serene. I saw a very graceful cross-country skier. I figured out the trail isn't plowed for the skiers.
A 2.5 stretch of sidewalk was somewhat plowed. That was a pleasant surprise. The run took me one hour and four minutes and was very enjoyable. The coldest part of my run was twenty minutes after my run. I get super cold when I am stretching. |
