In a non-shock of the century, still no significant melting going on outside. Right now my regular running routes are completely impassable; when they completely cleared 10th Street in Arlington, they did so by shoveling all the snow off of the road and onto the shoulders… which includes the sidewalks. It’s fairly insane as a result, and other streets are in just as bad a condition. So unless I want to run down main roads and risk my life… guess it’s time for more indoor track fun. (At least that option is available.) I also noticed that the parking lot was more full than normal despite there not being more people at the rec center; I think people in the local neighborhood are parking there rather than on the street. What this probably means is that going to spinning class tonight might be problematic. We shall see.

Anyway! The run went ok. Sure it was boring (thank you “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” for this morning’s entertainment) and I was huffing and puffing from a general lack of running as of late, but I got it done and that’s all that really mattered to me.
