Thoughts:

  • Weather conditions this morning were not ideal. My first 4 miles were run in blinding snow. Fortunately, the roads and sidewalks were warm enough that the snow mostly melted upon impact. By mile 5 the snow turned into ice pellets. The roads were now slightly icy with a lot of slushy areas. Snowfall returned at mile 7 and the salt trucks thankfully were out in full force. I stayed on the roads now which helped me quicken my pace safely.
  • Overall, I was pleased with my finishing time. Mostly, I was glad that I completed the 14 miles outside instead of on the treadmill. It was a beautiful, peaceful run.
  • Also, this week marked the first time since my fall in February where I was able to squat without knee pain and run without a nose bleed! I think that I am fully recovered from my injuries!
