Snow Day

Where did all this snow come from?  Great for those of you heading to Birkie this weekend, but it sucks for those of us looking to run on some trails.  I know, it will be gone soon enough.What?  No Speedy this morning?  Sick kid?  ...we'll just have to manage without him.
Even with the fresh 5 inches of snow, Jeff, Brodie and I decided to head to the trails just North of Long Lake for our run...what were we thinking?  Mile 1 TO the park, 8:20ish, miles 2 and 3 THROUGH the park, 10:30+ pace, as we were blazing the trail, eventually running along a fence-line in 6+ inches of fresh snow.  Now THAT'S work...still running at 10:30 pace, HR at 166...? 
Once we finally hit the pavement, miles 4-9 were run consistently at 8:15 pace...beautiful 20 degree weather, good conversation...pleasant indeed!
Solid core session tonight...looking forward to my ride/swim tomorrow :)  ...and thanks for the run Jeff and B!
