This post is just to extoll the virtues of running in the snow. Today I went for a run on the Lower Seymour trails, and had a great 2 hours in the snow. Even though a rain/snow mix was falling from the sky, the deep snow on the ground made for fun running. Especially entertaining was the part where I had to pass a group of walkers who were oblivious to me until I jumped into the deep snow off the trail to pass them. Then I wallowed awkwardly while trying to move faster than they were moving on the packed trail. I think they took pity on me and slowed down so I'd be able to go by.
This week I registered for my first ultra, the Orcas Island 50K. I have registered for one ultra before, the Collegiate Peaks Trail Run in Colorado, but this time I hope I can actually run the race! One month from now...time to train a bit more.
