I got up yesterday and planned to run 3 miles outside. Then I looked outside and it was SNOWING!!! It was too late to go to the gym & run on the treadmill & get to work on time. 

So out I went. I was 25 degrees (& 14 with the wind chill) but I didn’t feel cold at all!! The problem was that it was slippery.

I ran slowly so I wouldn’t fall and closed my eyes since the snow was blowing into my contacts!

It was actually quite refreshing.  The only time it was treacherous was when I saw a big dog running at me and when I tried to stop, I started to fall.  The dog broke my fall. (Lucky he was friendly.) The owner laughed.

This morning the weather was the same so I am opting to wait til after work since I want to run more than 3 miles.

I brought outdoor clothes so I can run near work (I think there’s sidewalk & lights). I also brought indoor clothes in case I decide to go to the gym and run on the treadmill.

Which will it be?

Happy Running!  Inside and Out!
