it did indeed snow today. but I couldn't bear the thought of running on the treadmill. so I braved the conditions and took it to the street.
it was pretty rough out there. it had snowed most of the night, and it was still coming down during the whole run. most people hadn't even shoveled yet. I was running through snow banks, dodging big slushy puddles, and trying not to slip or get hit by a car as I crossed the street. it was like a war zone out there.
I had to run slowly for the aforementioned reasons. conditions were far from ideal. I'm sure it didn't help my hamstring (what with the uneven, slippery surface I was running on), which still hurts, btw. I must have done something to it on thursday's treadmill run. my right hamstring didn't bother me a bit. I hope the left one doesn't become a chronic pain in my you-know-what.
I had originally planned a six or seven mile route (I had conjured up a few different options), but decided to cut it down to five. it wasn't worth risking severe damage to the hamstring or risking my life out there on the snowy streets.
I stretched and iced when I got home.
5 miles; baby pug tree west, baby pug tree north + the liberty park loop
