Since I didn't get much opportunity to run in the snow this winter, Mother Nature presented me with a nice gift this morning - a little April snowfall:

I could not have been happier except if it had snowed on Sunday - then I could have done my long run in the snow! Anyway, it looks like I will get close to running 50 miles this week and then I'll taper a little over the next two weeks for my two races -
Ravenswood 5k followed by the
Indy Mini Half. I am hoping to start peaking fitness-wise for early June when I run the
13.1 Marathon (and perhaps one other race). Hoping to continue awhile with this injury-free running...
Great mileage week and beautiful pics....even if I don't care for snow in April. At all.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I know snow in April isn't for everyone, but there are a few of us crazies!
DeleteBeautiful photos! And wahoo for feeling good and getting in ALL THE MILEZ! Those photos make me want to break my "no running outside if it's freezing" to go explore the lakefront right now :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. If you do make it out to the trail, hopefully there are still some wavez out there! :)
DeleteOnly you would be excited about snow in April :)
ReplyDeleteWell, me and Kim at least! :)
DeleteLike!
DeleteAnd me! Yay running in long sleeves!
DeleteYay! Us cold weather runners have reached critical mass. We can form a club now. :)
DeleteWurst Weather Running Club? Hmmm....
DeleteI really don't mind cold, but snow? In APRIL?! I can't get behind that.
Ha WWRC! We'll meet only between Dec 1 and April 15th with a special trip to Antarctica in the summer. :)
DeleteOh man! I wish it would have snowed on Sunday too so you could run more in it! It looks so beautiful next to the lake! Sigh. I am sad it's melting but I heard we might get more tonight. Woo hoo!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteReally? Cool, thanks for the snow-info! :)
DeleteWoo! These are some of the most beautiful snow pictures I've seen! Why? Because there's less than an inch of snow! Glad to see you running & blogging again!
ReplyDeleteThose pics are gorgeous! I moved to the 'burbs back in September, and I am definitely missing my lakefront path runs! Good luck in a few weeks in Indy! I am SO excited for that race:)
