spring forward with flurries?!?
daylight savings time kicked in today. i got geared up mid-afternoon and headed outside with temps in the mid-20’s with an east wind (plus big flakes of snow). i headed into the wind (and flakes) for the first half of the run. i brought along my oakleys with the clear lens to block the wind and snow…which helped. as i turned south at around 4 miles, i started to move a bit more fluid as i didn’t have to battle against the wind and i had warmed up a bit.
at about 5 miles i turned into bethesda park then made my way west along the glacial drumlin trail. i tried to run on the unplowed section but it was essentially a block of ice that had frozen with divots in it from prior traffic. i bounced back onto moreland and made my way back into my subdivision. i finished running up the hill on comanche and stopped my watch at 1:14:11 with 9 miles covered.
it would have been nice to run more but i have other things that needed attention this weekend. regardless, this weekend’s effort was solid even though the weather left a great deal to be desired.
