2nd Long Run

I was becoming very antsy today and really wanted to get my run in. I missed 2 runs this week. I missed a mile on Thursday and one on Saturday due to weather. It has not gotten over 5 degrees in days and most of the time with the windchill it is negative. I have decided I am not joining a gym because I dont need to pay all that money when I will be running outside no matter what within a month. Onto the run:



So here I am, it has finally warmed up to 19 degrees. Its cold but at least we are in double digits. I look out the window and on top of the snow, on top of the ice layer, another layer of snow is coming down and has put a nice inch of powder across everything.



What did I do? I did what runner's do. I laced up and hit it. It was the greatest run I have had in a long time. I felt perfectly free, only my footprints on the ground. The snow was soft underfoot and so my legs felt strong. Somehow my lungs held out and I cranked out a great feeling 2 miles. I dread my rest days now. I will be traveling all week so my Tuesday and Thursday runs will be treadmill work at the hotel most likely.
