Extra points

I think that miles run in snow should get extra points.

Yesterday's run was in foot deep crusted over snow, packed down by a single pass of a truck. When I tried to finish up on a section of the trail packed only by deer and a few walkers I nearly broke my ankles. I felt so damn virtuous for having completed that 3.5 mile run! I think there really should be quality ratings or effort modifiers to more accurately guage the real valued of a workout.

I can't argue... I HATE walking on snow and ice.. much less running on it.. thus if the path isn't cleared, I run indoors for now.. we'll see what happens next year- I'd like to be out more, but need minimalist shoes to even consider it... and can't afford those for at least a few more weeks...

Dirt Road + snow cover = sore ass. Or....glutes, rather. Lol.
