first steps in snow

It was cold and blowing snow when I ran this evening. I cut the run shorter than I planned due to the slippery conditions underfoot. There was almost an inch of snow but some of the pavement below was nicely iced. I had some skidding moments and decided to follow Falstaff's advice: Discretion is the better part of valor.

 

If you got out today, I hope you had better weather to run in!

First I ran, now I run FRST

My entry for January's theme of health is up on the Joyful Jubilant Learning blog today.

I share my experiences with the FIRST Program. FIRST comes from the Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training. It is a great three day per week running program.

1st Run in New Year

1st Run in New Year, originally uploaded by shersteve.

I got out early Friday morning to crunch my footsteps in the new snow. Stopping to take a photo or two, I did complete three miles with some double telephone pole fartlek.

Drove home from the recent Baslock reunion so I missed running Sunday. Will definitely need to be more diligent with the running schedule as I go forward.

Do you have goals for the new year?

Happy New Year 2010

Wishing all the best to all runners for 2010!

This year, a opportunity to achieve personal bests!
