But it really all depends on how I'm feeling, what's on my plate, and the weather.<br /><br />I really wanted to run Monday, but I was tired and knew I shouldn't. So of course yesterday was snow/freezing rain -- although oddly other than slowing me down, it wasn't bad. I wore Yaktrax even though they're not really for that sort of weather -- but I didn't have any problems.<br /><br />Today is warmer, but super windy and dreary. Tomorrow is snow. Another treadmill run . . . and snow + wintry mix this weekend.Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-90745307274233912202017-02-08T10:40:22.452-05:002017-02-08T10:40:22.452-05:00Yay for feeling good after that long run!
