Harder to get out between snow clogged streets and near impassable trails, but the winter scene has its pluses of nature's beautify and serenity.
Monday:
6 miles. Snowstorm run in Misquamicut.
0.5 miles. Pool run / lap combo.
Tuesday:
6 miles. 6 degrees.
Wednesday:
5 miles. "Forced" inside onto a treadmill. Needham, MA. As they're still digging out from 3' of snow now, it would have meant running on the roads dodging cars. Varied speed between 9mph (6:40 pace) and 11mph (5:27). It was a long 30+ minutes to get this in, but one plus is it does make the training easier to maintain a certain target pace. Maybe Muddy is on to something afterall?
The Y treadmills have modernized quite a bit since I last used one, as I watched clips of recent sports highlights being played on the screen on my treadmill.
Thursday:
4 miles. The mileage understates the effort. This was a hard, but very fun run in Wahaneeta. I'll let the pics tell the story.
Saturday:
7 miles. Belleville Pond 10K snow race. Separate write-up shortly.
Sunday:
18 miles. Longest run this year to date. One solo 10-mile loop, then a 8-mile loop with Matthew. Was really fading on last few miles, especially with sore legs from yesterday's race.

| The access road to the trails was all ice. Yaks saved the day. |
 |
| This shot of the trail covering a babbling brook just epitomizes the sheer beauty of winter to me. |

| NH? No, running the trails in RI with about 2' of snow on the ground. |
 |
| It turns out crusty snow can be quite abrasive on the legs. Who knew? |
