I really did run in the snow!

I ran in the snow...yay! James and I went to the par course. It was bit late. The snow was beginning to melt and turn into slush. The redwood trees were dripping and dumping snow. The path was a mix of snow in some spots, thick slush and muddy slush. Leaving my big coat and boots at the bench, I wore James thick winter wooly socks in my running shoes and went for it. I ran only one lap (1.2 miles). I loved every minute of it (not so much the slush and cold feet)...the feeling of packing my feet in the snow was incredible. It was everything I expected. I wish I had gone earlier. I was off work and frittered the day away but James convinced me if I had gone earlier before the snow melted, I would have run into ice below the snow. Hopefully we'll get more snow this week. I'm hooked and dreaming of going to Tahoe and learning to run in snowshoes wondering what it is like to mountain bike in the snow, admiring the snow xterra athletes. Running in the slush and letting go of fears of getting my feet wet helps me to run in more rain next time. When I arrived home, My wooly socks were dripping.
