I am supposed to do 8 miles this weekend. It usually do my long runs on Saturday morning so they are over and done with and I can enjoy the rest of the weekend with my family. It was a no go yesterday either outside or at the gym because of the insane snow. So, I show up at the gym at about 9:00 today (after barrelling over all the snow in our driveway with the jeep... god forbid we would actually shovel the driveway). When I got to the gym, there were fire trucks in the parking lot. Like a ding bat, I go in anyway and the firemen stop me (Castle Rock has really good looking firemen, by the way). There's a natural gas leak and the gym is closed.
Crap.
So, I get in the jeep and drive back home thinking, well, it's over 40 degrees now, so I'll just run outside. As I drove through the neighborhood though, I realized no sidewalks or bike paths are cleared yet. That means I get to run down the single lanes on the roads that are cleared. Sounds pretty safe.
So, as soon as I finish this cup of coffee, I will be on my way. I'm not totally sure I will get in the full 8, but I am going out to run something. Earlier, as I got grumpier and grumpier from 2 days of no running, Dan said, "You either need to start running or start drinking so you can calm down."
I'm thinking, cool, run first, then drink.

running in the snow is hard. i vote for drinking instead.
It was extremely interesting for me to read the article. Thank author for it. I like such topics and anything that is connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more on that blog soon.
