Snow sucks

This is the start of the build for my running, with an increase in distance on the weekend long runs, and choosing the hillier course. Of course, the main thing is adding the speedwork on the weekday runs. But I'll get to that soon enough. Today was the long run, eight miles over hilly terrain. Except that didn't happen. Although it's almost the end of February, and it should be warming up, instead we got a few inches of snow. I'm done with the snow. It's all well and good in December and January, even earlier this month, but can't it be on its way to Spring now? Since the plows hadn't come by, I wasn't about to head out in sketchy conditions. I've seen the drivers around here. It was back to the treadmill. Sixty-four minutes later, I was done. There really isn't a lot to say about. I got on, I ran. I checked the heart rate at the end, it was 162 bpm. There's no way that's accurate, since I was ridiculously relaxed. That's a higher heart rate than I'd have during a marathon, and I could have kept going for days. I'll keep tracking this, and see if things change in the near future.

Run: 8 miles @ 7.5 mph
