This past week, the kids had exactly one full day of school… well, at least the district I work for did. My own kids had an early dismissal, a late start, and 3 straight days off due to a combination of ice, snow, and freezing rain. Suffice it to say – I’M DONE WITH WINTER! I can’t even go running outside, not because of the cold temps, but simply because it’s not safe to run anywhere. I’ve been doing a lot of speedwork indoors on the treadmill, which I’m sure will help when I finally do get back outside, but it’s still tough to put in all that work and not actually go anywhere… joys of the treadmill. Hopefully, this coming week should bring warmer temps, melt the snow, and allow me to get back to running outdoors. Time to prep for a half coming up real soon!
