Woke up at 6:00 to run at the Olympic Oval. We received some more snow over the evening and none of it had been plowed, with the temperature to boot I opted for something different. Peggy and Mike arrived about the same time I did and we visited about Christmas and proceeded to run our guts out on the track. The traffic was very light but did seem to pick-up in the second hour. I felt like I was really moving but my nike+ had me running at a snails pace which was very frustrating. I like running track when there are plenty of people to talk to. It seemed that every 3 miles I needed to switch directions on the track which was very strange because the Oval is as flat as a pancake and you wouldn't think that you would need to switch directions. It is a fairly hard track probably because it is laid on top of concrete. It is a wonderful option for days when the weather will not cooperate. Looking forward to next week when the running group gets back together. It has been quite a while since we have met. It is amazing how attached you get to running with people, you miss them when they are not around. |
