Sgt. Hulka is taking a pounding from the increase in running. I'm thinking I may lose the nail, and apparently that is normal. 64 miles last week, and 36 already this week - I'm hoping to break 60 again if the toe wants to come along and not act up. Lighten up Francis! If not the cross bike is ready to lead me to adventure. But the difference between going for a run vs. a ride in the wintertime is huge, given the extra clothing, shoe covers, helmet warmers, etc. I can take off so quickly for a run, and this time of year it seems to take forever for me to get ready for a ride - and sometimes I return back to the house either too warm or too cold. Running has it's place and I'm liking it this winter in lieu of the skiing.
We finally got some snow this week, and I spent a good hour clearing that up on Monday. But it is all melting now, and should be gone in town soon. The muddy trails got a nice layer over them and the icy ones got some traction, so I ran over at Animas and all around the college. I like the snow trail running, but it is slower than pavement as you have to pay attention to where you plant your feet. Perhaps we will get enough snow to open up Hillcrest for some skiing, and they did groom a track early this week, but grass shows through some of now.
