Another Half - Snow, Puddles, Splash!

I took a bit more rest this week after last weekend's long runs. I was beat tired for a couple days. But now with the weekend it's time for a longer group run (I've decided to make every other week a "short" run to ensure recovery time)

Ran with the Dana-Farber group on the Lexington run again. I ran the same distance I did 2 weeks ago, 13.2 miles...in the hopes I might see (make) some improvements. It was not meant to be: Although the temperature was kinder in the 30's, it snowed, sleeted, and snowed again before the sun came out. Almost the entire run was on about a half inch of snow that turned to slush (no traction). And there were a few areas covered in water to go around. I stepped my left foot in to a deeper puddle getting my foot wet in the first 30 minutes, leaving me a bit more weight to lug around.

All that said, I was only 27 seconds off my time from 2 weeks ago (1:55:33).

After the run, Dana-Farber had a video camera set up and were taking 10-second bites of runners, still winded and sweaty from theirs runs. I don't remember exactly what I said...but I'll send the link if they post it somewhere.
