If I had to sum up this winter in one word it would be: icy. It has been very hard to train for Around the Bay outside. Tonight I did a training run. It had to be a long, slow run due to the ice. But I felt good. Possibly because I couldn't run fast, but let's not think about that. My friend and I also ran the dreaded Valley Inn Road hill on the weekend. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that it wasn't near as steep or as long as many of the hills we run in our usual trail routes. I realize that after 27 K of running, we will still be cursing the hill just as much as I cursed Martin Rd hill after the third time I had to run it during my ultra marathon. Still...it's nice to dream.
