It also helped matters that I think I had 95% decided to pick this race as well, before I asked for help. The scenery is beautiful, and I am always down for a scenic run over an urban route any day. I’ve also heard that the after party is pretty decent so I’m stoked. It should be a great time; thanks for all the help in my decision!
As a fair warning, now I’m probably going to ask y’all for help anytime I have a life decision to make. Do you see what bed you’ve made for yourself?
As I’m sure many of heard, Denver got hit by an awesome snow storm yesterday!! Of course, I’m one of the crazies that loves the snow! I didn’t get to go skiing, but I did decide to take Tals out for some snowshoeing to get a nice (cold!) outdoor workout in for the day. I miiiiiiiiiiight have been a little overzealous cause 6″ of snow does not a snowshoe make! I realized this when I got there, but I figured we could just walk around anyway.

Oooph!
A few things combined to make yesterday morning the hardest walk ever!! First of all, there was JUST enough snow to make the walk/post-hole kinda tough. Second of all, the temps had dropped while I was out there and it was sitting on 25*. Third, a freaking snow squall blew in while I was in the middle of the tree-less open space and I wasn’t wearing glasses! Rookie mistake. The snow was blowing straight into my eyeballs the entire way back. I was trying to cover my poor little pupils with my hood, but that snow storm wasn’t having it. Pretty sure I’m snow blind now. Or that might be an exaggeration. You decide 😉
So, my pics are a little dog obsessed. Not like that’s something new or anything! Besides, look at how freaking adorable Tals was!
Unfortunately, I suck. That little 3 mile walk ended up being my daily workout! Weak sauce, I know. No excuses. My dog manned up way better than me!
How do you feel about the snow: love it or hate it?
