1.  Tuesday, I had the worst run… I decided to run in the city of Albany.  The sidewalks were slushy, icy and covered with puddles!  The streets were the same except with cars parked and traffic.  Three miles was a struggle and felt like 26!!

Washington Park  was even slushy…

2. Wednesday, I had the best run…I abandoned the Albany plan and drove to Delmar and ran around the neighborhoods…the roads were clean, there was little traffic and although I planned to run 5 miles, I ran 6 miles and felt like I could run more.

new shoes, toe spacer, bunion pad.=a little relief

3.  I can’t resist a bargain or buying running apparel.  I had 3 $10 off coupons for Olympia Sports so I bought these:

these were on clearance, too

also on clearance

I love the hat and the shirt (I also bought another mint green tank from the clearance rack). The shorts are so…so.  I prefer skirts for races.  But my half marathon is on St Patrick’s Day so these may come in handy!

Happy Running!  Happy Valentine’s Day!
