Frozen.
In the winter, running is a labor of love. What else would get a normally sane person out the door in ten degree weather for eight miles? Days like today, when it's still snowing, I have a run scheduled, and I know I won't get home until after five make me wish I lived in a warmer climate.
I both love and hate winter running. I hate it, because I can't get a good rhythm for needing to stop for traffic on the roads and being at a low performance level. I also hate having to run in the dark with ice. I also love winter running, because it's teaching me the mental endurance I'm going to need for the racing season. I think I'm the most eager for spring that I've ever been, because I know that there are a ton of races around the corner. I have a trail race on Sunday that I'm a bit horrified about due to the mass amounts of snow and cold, but I'll barrel through it, since I've been looking forward to it for a while now. I just can't wait for spring!
