It has been cold in Ohio, Peeps. Yes, I realize that you didn't need me to tell you that. I have been confined to the treadmill for days, and it's starting to make me soul-sick.
I have made a point of getting out on the weekends, and that really helps. A few weekends ago I didn't get the opportunity to do back-to-back long runs because I was working in Columbus, so I decided to do a long trail run with the Trail Sisters on that Sunday.
As you can see, it was very snowy, very cold, and very steep. Running in the snow was like running on sand, and at the end of 12 miles, my Garmin registered that I exerted as much effort as I would have on 17 miles!
The following weekend I ran 14 miles on Saturday and 7 miles on Sunday. All of the miles were incredibly hilly, which is exactly what I need for Forget the PR 50K in Mohican.

At this point, if I don't get into the Forget the PR 50K, I will be in stellar form for the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon in May.

No matter how cold it is, I hope you run happy, Peeps!
