Laurie guilted me into waking up this morning and going running with her.
The plan was to go do 3 loops at FJ. We put on our spikes and headed out. Turns out that was a poor gear choice. I was post holing right away and decided I was gonna go back and put on my snow shoes.
Laurie's feet have still not quite recovered from the snow shoe race we did opted not to participate today. So it was just me.
I was feeling pretty tired and pooped for the first half of this run. Then about the half way mark I passed some skiers and started feeling really strong so I continued on running strong.
Lesson learned I really need to get some snow gaiters for running. My tights had opened up and I had huge balls of snow built up around my ankles. Wasn't the first time this happened to me, but it was the most uncomfortable I've ever had. So, today, we're going to go to REI and buy some snow gaiters. I have a feeling this snow will be lasting for a while, so I might as well embrace it while it's here! :)
