I felt pretty good on this run.  Pushed the pace a little, just to knock some of the rust off my legs.  We're supposed to get a bunch of snow tonight.  I'm not feeling very happy about that, but as long as it doesn't get icy, I guess I'll allow it.

I've been running with a mask on lately and I feel really creepy wearing it.  Today when I was getting ready I thought I'd scare my husband by going upstairs and threatening him.  Then I thought better of it.  He said it was probably a good thing, because he might have punched me in fright.

We didn't get quite as much snow as was forecasted (yay), but it was messy out (and still snowing) by the time I get ready to run.  I cross trained instead, but I think getting outside today will be much easier.  We'll see!

Sidewalks were mostly clear, but the run was still slow (and cold).  Nothing remarkable.

Yesterday I chipped a molar (!) on a piece of hard candy.  My tongue is now all cut up, and you know how annoying that is.  After thinking about having some popcorn (Wednesday is treat day at work) and deciding against it after for some reason I couldn't open the bag, I chose the piece of candy and told a coworker (who watched my failed attempt with the popcorn bag with amusement), "I'll just take this, even though it's probably worse for me."

I am a prophet.

Oh, and we are planning a summer voyage out west (June, we think).  We know for sure that we are going to Colorado Springs to visit friends and Mesa to visit family.  Then we'll be taking a leisurely trek back home.  We're still deciding what things to see on the way back.  I'm hopping I can see some bloggers, too, on the journey!

Cross trained after some shopping.  Bought new running shoes, as they were needed (I didn't get as many miles out of my last ones as I was hoping).  I also used a gift card that I got for Christmas to buy a new cold weather shirt.

Got to my mom and dad's yesterday.  Went for a run by their house this morning.  Here most people shovel their sidewalks.  It's nice.

I saw a lot of people out running (well, I guess that's relative, because it was really about 5 people).
