2 months ’til Shamrock

January 2013 snowThe path to my 6th Shamrock Half Marathon started in a heavy snow tonight. The run wasn’t anything special — just 2 miles as a recovery from Sunday’s Disney Marathon — but it’s very strange to go from running in uncomfortable heat to low 30s and snow within a 5-day span.
It’s also been an extremely bizarre week with my soreness. The way I felt Monday morning was like nothing I had experienced. I could barely walk. Today I feel surprisingly refreshed. If it wasn’t snowing and if the roads weren’t a disaster with slush, I would have run farther.

The Shamrock countdown and training is now under way for me, both physically and mentally. Sunday got me excited about running again and I can’t wait to see how the next 2 months go. …

    I’m running the Shamrock as well – my next ‘A’ race. It will be my first and I’m really looking forward to it since it’s in my backyard (I live in Chesapeake). Hope your training goes well!

    The snow missed us completely! I wouldn’t have minded running in some flurries tonight, but I think I saw two flakes 🙂
    Hope to see you at Shamrock, I’m running the full!

    I haven’t run in snow in a long time. Where I am in NJ, it always seems to hit above or below me. I like the cold, but snow can make it tricky.
    I want to do the Shamrock Half!
