A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who's beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

enough with the damn snow already!

passion for running category: running on Tuesday, December 5 2006

I’m getting a lot of double workouts lately. On Saturday, I spend two hours and twenty minutes shovelling and scraping off a ton of hard packed snow and ice off my driveway.

Last night, I shovelled the snow off my sidewalks and driveway again. This morning, there’s more snow on my walks than there was when I shovelled them last night.

And this is how it’s gone for the last two weeks.

ENOUGH!

Yesterday’s long (two hour) run went well but I was obviously tired from Sunday’s hard effort because my heart rate was a bit higher than it’s been on my last couple easy runs. I’ll be taking it really easy today as I’m feeling pretty creaky at the moment.

The snow has just begun here and I’m ALREADY sick of it.

Think of it as cross training! At least it’s not as cold as it was, you can actually work up a sweat and not freeze to death.

Does this mean you’d prefer months of sleet and heavy rains instead?

I love snow! I love living in an apartment where other people do those things for you!
