5:20 am felt like 20, actively snowing. About 2-4 inches on the ground. I had to go to the dentist today by 8. I dind't think I wouldn't be walking back in the door at around 7! OMG 11:30 AP. It was a fun run. But I just kept getting distracted. So I'm not complaining about my pace.

I had to stop to let plows through--they are BIG and scary!! Within the first mile I saw 5 deer in the field just staring at me and I at them. Very pretty. Then about 7 miles in there were deer trying to cross the street. It was funny. I wonder who they vote to look both ways and then give the go ahead. They all sprinted away in the field.

Then I thought I got lost. I tend to run in this one ritzy community during the day but I combined two of my short runs (which was only suppose to be between 7 and 7.5 miles). I had started going the right way and then doubted myelf and walked the other way (too much snow to see the signs). Lucky for me there was a lady walking her dog that told me I was indeed going in the right direction the first time. I got back on track. Went right instead of left outside of the complex thinking that would be less mileage and I maybe right. If I went left maybe I would have ran 8.5 miles.

Annoying thing--snow kept getting stuck in the spot of my heal. Do you know what I"m talking about? I usually get a rock stuck there once in a while. But I had to keep stomping the snow out! Very annoying!

Very peaceful run. Drove to my dental appointment, did a 360 in my truck (nothing is hurt) and then got a root canal.

I think I'm gonna go quilt.

Oh readers! I read the book The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo  Awesome book ifyou like murder/mysteries and family feuds!

Great run! Good job getting out in a snowstorm. 360...scary!

JD-the 360 happens more often then I would like. I just let it happen and try to steer away from items.
