Running with the Stars, and wind and snow

Printer friendly version Posted on: Friday February 26 08:49:14 AM

I may have stayed home this morning if I had a solo run scheduled.

But, I had 5:30 (yes, am) plans to meet a client, who we will protect his identity by referring to him only as Hue Dylan. I do not like to pass up the opportunity to run for a living so I got up and looked out the window. It was blowing wind and I half expected to get a text saying 'call it off', but no, last night Hue said let's do it for sure at 5:30. I talked him into actually when he mentioned he's lost his Yak Trax (strap on slip protection for sunning shoes) but since our daughter was working at Running Room as we spoke and we were intending on picking her up, we were able to replce Hue's lost traction and that was it. We were on.

When I looked out the window a 2nd time, it was apparent that we got a fair bit of snow last night it would be a tough run. I considered crawling back into bed and telling Hue we were better off staying in but as I thought that, a couple of ladies ran past our house (5am!) and that was that. I got ready and headed out.

Would 'Pre' have stayed in? No.
Should I have stayed in and rested my leg some more? Probably. Should I have kept Hue and I off the roads and not risk slipping? Maybe. Is even asking these questions soft of me? yes.

Although it was by no means a fast run, it was a good workout trying to push through the snow and wind. We were both dressed properly so it really didn't turn out too bad. It ended with a rough patch heading north back to Hue's but after that, the feelingof accomplishment made it all worth while.

And the complimentary Venti 6 shot Americano that I just received  is going down nicely now.
