Fresh MN Snowfall Run

Описание: I finished up the Burrito League yesterday with a 14 miler. I don’t live in the city with the Burrito League, so I only had the one day to participate. It was still fun. Today, it was snowing with a beautiful new coat of snow at the time I finally got out the door. It was surprising how well groomed most sidewalks and trails were. I did a bit in deeper snow, but it all added to the beauty. I had my Hoka Speedgoat GTX Spikes on, which, again, worked perfectly. I was grumbling at the beginning, since I’ve become accustomed to the treadmill, and I didn’t particularly want to go out in the cold, but … I ended up loving it! I was supposed to run 3 miles, but I knew before I started that, since a good turnaround point was at 2.2mi, that I’d get 4.4 miles. As I arrived at the 2.2mi turnaround point (aka, Thin Ice Point at the Richardson Nature Center pond), I wasn’t ready to turnaround. I was enjoying myself too much. Therefore, I continued on around to the buffalo (aka, Sledding Hill) and even to East Bush Lake Park before turning around. I saw a couple of deer way off, but they didn’t get in the video, since they were so far away and behind a small hill. I saw lots of cross-country skiers, though. I also saw some kick-sledders out on a pond. That must’ve been an organized group, because they actually have the kick sleds locked up most of the time.

Anyways, it was fun. It was a lot warmer than it’s been over the last few weeks, so I was toasty in all of my layers. It looks like it was about 24F with a Feels Like of 13F.

I also love that I used my poem, Summer, Don’t Leave Me! I even used a version with very dramatic whining. Haha.
