It was snowing when I woke up and it continued until about 7 pm. So, on the ground there is a layer of ice, a layer of snow, a layer of ice, and now another layer of snow. During my run, the footing was pretty tricky. Sometimes it was slick and other times it was okay. There were a lot of footprints in the latest layer of ice that were hidden by the snow. I am grateful I don't have weak ankles.
This run was mentally tough. I finished my run in a sour mood. Usually, running--even when running very hard--makes me feel good. Lately, it feels more like a battle. And I feel like I am getting weaker. I did have a good run on Thursday. I am going to try to figure out why I'm not enoying my runs as much. I plan on running 25 miles next week. |
