These were slow miles indeed.  There was a blanket of snow on the ground (2-3 inches) and snow was still lightly falling, which made it difficult.  I chose my route unwisely at first.  I headed toward the bike path.  I thought it would be plowed, but I forgot that today's a holiday.  Then I ran on the snowy roads.  I stopped to kick out my legs at 4 miles and 5 miles.  They were tight from the shorter steps and the effort to stop myself from sliding.  It's possible that I will run again tonight, but it's just as possible that I won't.

I stopped after 3 miles, and then decided that I had one more mile in me.  I, as I always do on the treadmill, varied the speed throughout.

My right foot is weirdly swollen on the top.  It feels like I bruised it, but I don't remember doing anything to it.  Hope it isn't anything related to running.  Luckily it doesn't hurt or anything.

3 notable things about this run:

1.  The entire town of Rantoul has smelled like vomit/garbage/manure for the last 3 days.  No one knows why.  It bothered me at the beginning of the run, but I probably was mouth breathing for the rest of the run.

2.  I wore a Rudolph reindeer ear band, complete with horns that flopped around.  This is because I started my run from the youth center, had forgotten I needed a hat of some sort, and that was the only thing I could find in the car.

3.  It warmed up yesterday and melted some of the snow, but refroze over night.  It was warmer this morning (33 says my phone), but there were still some spots where I had to watch my footing.  It was also gusty.
