Providence Trail - 

Not surprisingly, the trail was buried under snow today.  I opted to not take the microspikes and I think that was a mistake as the snow was quite slick.  Someone had blazed the trail for the first mile, but had done so yesterday and the snow was icy chunks.  The footing was better once I hit the bridge but from then on I was making the trail.  Snow was nearly mid shin and the going was slow.  I was working pretty hard to hold a 14 min mile pace. Once I hit the turnaround, though the soft snow was nice and cushy.  Coming down was a blast until the icy stuff over the last half mile.  Good times.

Pretty uneventful, some easy miles, some harder.

Worked 17 hours on Tues and another 6 on Wed. Nothing like the late night coding/debugging sessions!  I did manage to wake up today and run for a while.  Did the usual Providence Trail.  Today, the sun was out though due to the later wake up and that made it nice (you know, to be able to see and all).  Today, I wore Microspikes and that made a huge difference on the icy trail.  The bottom half of the trail was nice and packed down with a few icy patches, but the microspikes did wonders on that. No slippage at all.  The upper half of the trail was untouched other than my tracks from monday.  Looks like I am on my own for keeping that section of trail clear.

Deer Fence loop from home.  Still a bit tired and sluggish.  No speed records today.

Providence Trail - 

Escaped the valley rain to run in the mountain snow.  It was just flurries, so no big deal.  The trail had turned to mush though from all the warm weather.  The microspikes saved the day again.  It was like running in a slurpee.

12 lousy miles.  I think my week finally caught up with me and I crashed and burned.  I woke up and decided to wait until the foot of snow melted a bit.  I headed out mid day and just didn't feel good from start to finish.  I did stop and chat with the RedRoosterfor a few mins.  Poor guy is still injured.
