Been a few days since my last post so I thought that I would get caught up on the blog. I am finding that winter training is not the easiest thing to do - - especially if you are planning to train outdoors. Lately, if it isn't the rain causing the Big Walnut Creek to flood it is the snow/blizzard making walking a little dicey.
I was able to get a walk in last Thursday at Creekside. The creek was flooded so most of the path that I walk was not accessible. I was able to use a .2 mile stretch and went back and forth and did 2 miles. My time was 33:10 with a pace of 16:35. Splits were 16:44 and 16:27.
I was able to get to Creekside yesterday after enough of the 20" snowfall we got on Saturday had melted from the path. I was able to do 2.1 miles with a time of 34:56 and a pace of 16:38. Splits were 19:07 for the first 1.1 miles and 15:49 for the last mile.
I am planning on getting a 3 miler in tomorrow as I get ready for the Run Happy 5K on the 29th and the start of my training program for the 2008 Columbus Marathon.
