Snow dancing

The big fat snowflakes were really fun to run through on my Saturday morning long run. They stuck to my eyelashes and my nose. I managed a 10:35 pace and the crazy thing was that the pace felt really easy which was bizarre. Maybe there's something to be said for speedwork after all! I ran 7 miles and felt great the entire way. Near the end, both knees started to twinge a little but that's probably because 7 miles is as far as I've gone since the marathon if you can believe it. It took me longer than I'd anticipated to bounce back from the marathon but on Saturday I felt like I'd finally gotten there. So I stuck my tongue out and caught some snowflakes on my tongue and danced around the lake like the crazed fool that I am.

Yay, Kate! You've arrived! I'm so happy that you had a great long run. I agree--speedwork rocks!

I am heading home to Ohio on Thursday night and hoping that we get some snow for my birthday, the 23rd. I know you think I'm nutz, but I love Ohio winters!

Great run! I love to go out and run in the snow despite the fact that I am a little bit of a freeze baby. I've also been known to catch snowflakes on my tongue when I'm sure noone is watching!
