Left the house at 6:00 this morning and entered into a winter wonderland. When I left Salem is was snowing just a little bit and bu the time I hit dairy road it was really coming down. I ran out to Osborne Corner and got a drink and then ran down tree road and met up with Mac, Josse and Alli. I ran back to Osborne corner with them and then ran out to junk mail with Pat L. He then turned around and headed back to his car. I ran out and around pretty little road and hit mile 9 at the base of Harry's Hill, so I decided that I would tempo up it for a mile. The road was snow packed and I was the first set of tracks going up it. I averaged a 7:41 for the entire mile, this is a steep hill that has a lot of elevation gain in a short distance. When I hit the top I ran to Woodland Hills Dr and then across and down to Salem Canal Rd and home. The snow was starting to get really deep on top, but it was decreasing a little the lower I got. Legs felt good today, even with the cold wet morning. I think that I like running in snow that has BIG snow flakes compared to little snow flakes. ave pace 7:22 total running time 1:36:39
