Pretty windy - out of the South West.
A nice morning actually. It's very nice to have the mild temps. -8*C is quite a bit better than -20*C. You still have to dress warm as the wind is a factor, but that's not a problem. The wind is good resistance. Once you turn into it; you know it. It's good - like hills. It's like a program on the treadmill.
I ran with Tara Stephen and Donna Kopecky this morning. A 4 miler route in town. Because of the high wind overnight, there were some soft finger drifts that added to the challenge. When you hit that soft 2 inches of snow, the footing became tougher.
It all adds to building caracter. If you can battle the black darkness, the snowy-slippery-footing, the cold, the wind - you can run the beautiful weather like a piece of cake. And there always will be beautiful winter days to run. I like the days when it's snowing heavy big flakes, calm and maybe 8 to 10 below.
Keep give'n'er,
gk

Boot camp is sure helping my workouts. I did the t-mill on the weekend. It was typically, a hard setting. It felt good and I whipped right through it. Proves to me that resistance training helps the running!
