Fifteen inches of fresh snow made it a little challenging to run this morning.  I knew the trails would be almost impossible so I set off down the sidewalk, again! Half of the run was on sidewalks and the vast majority of people had shoveled their sidewalks to the clear pavement.  This provided adequate traction.  Maybe one house per block hadn’t been touched and depending on the overall foot traffic of the block determined if it had been packed down or not.  The hardest part was hurdling the snow mountains on either end of the block.  As a corner lot owner myself, I try to make sure that there is at least a small walkway cut out, but not everyone is quite as courteous.  I also think everyone is just tired of shoveling snow!  Victory Memorial Parkway was clear and the last half of the run was pretty smooth sailing.

Overall run was 4.24 miles in 41:45.  Today was 6×400 with 400 meters of rest in between.  This is a change from the time to a distance, so I tried to keep myself moving during the rest so it wasn’t too long.  Here are the splits:
