Snowy Thursday

Posted by Running Chick in Snow
Comments (2) | Trackbacks (0)

I was completely surprised this morning to find that at least five inches of snow had fallen overnight and I had a plow ridge that was about double that.  So much for my run.  I did decide to put on my gps while I removed snow, just to see how much far I go.  It ended up being around 1.5 miles, but it would have been farther had Dorf not come home.  It is impossible to do snow when he's out there, we just get in each other's way.  So, while he was doing his snow thing, I killed time shoveling off my deck, digging out my a/c unit and a few other snow-related things before finally giving up and going for a walk around the block.  When I came back, he was still out there, so I gave up and went inside. I think I was outside for around 90 minutes in total.


I hope to make up for my missed run tomorrow, but we're under yet another lake effect snow warning tonight with 4"-6" expected so my run may not happen. I have mid-February levels of snow in my back yard, I really hope things taper down soon.


Here's my silly map from tonight.  All those squiggly lines are me going back and forth with my scoop.  I'm not sure why, but mapmyrun.com says I only went 1.87 miles, yet my Garmin said 2.00.  Oh well, whatever.

Did you take the snowblower along with you on your walk? That would've been cute.

There goes that Nancy again...something a little off with her.

No, but I could have taken my scoop!

I run, I work, I drink beer, but not necessarily in that order.
