Its been raining for the past few days nonstop! I’ve been very happy about it since it’s the only possibility to clear off the huge amounts of snow and ice that have been lingering on my favorite running paths for weeks. There’s no possible way it would have melted away in any reasonable amount of time with the temperatures hovering around the low to mid 30s.

This snow has been making it nearly impossible to run with any sort of speed or comfortable stride. But, just today, as I commuted into work, I noticed a nearby path was almost completely cleared off.

Then I start hearing about more snow coming. I dismiss it in hopes that it wont stick being the ground is wet, and probably not cold enough anymore.

Now, as I listen to the weather forecast, I’m hearing the snow coming tomorrow should start sticking towards the end of the day Thursday and continue on through Friday.

I contemplated taking a personal day from work tomorrow just to do my long run.
