Making Lemonade Out of Lemons

The snow banks along the roads now resemble a city skyline, making running on the roads after work a bit treacherous in the town I teach in. Thank goodness we averted having a snowday the other day, unlike this poor woman a few hours to my north.

Came up with a plan to avoid the town's roads altogether by running a 1.15 mile figure eight loop ten times that went around the high school and the adjacent junior high school. A bit boring, but better than missing a run altogether and it was quite nice not having to worry about traffic one bit. Just moseyed along and allowed the mind to wander.

Ran 11.5 miles @ 8:19/mile pace.
AHR/MHR - 143/152
Paved roads.
Slightly hilly.
Lower 20s, partly cloudy.
Long pants, fleece jacket, long sleeved shirt, short sleeved shirt, refl. vest, beanie, gloves.
