Run as fast as you can

Did my 3.5 today. Started out with beautiful blue skies, if a bit windy.

by the time I got to the end and was doing my cool down walk?

I was in the middle of a snow storm! Like full blown swirls of snow coming down sideways and pelting my face cuz the wind was blowing so hard. 

I put Mac on his leashed and BOOKED IT back to the car which was still

.7 miles away.  So much for a cool down.

It's hard to see, but it WAS snowing.  And the hazy look to the hills back there? Yup, you guessed it: snow.

So, I got in my car, proud of myself for pushing through my run and not walking up the hill

(yes, that means I jogged..er...ran all the way up the sandy thing) but not feeling

overall good about what I just did.  Until I checked my stats and I had 

a faster per mile pace than any of my other runs thus far.  BOOYAH!
Proof that even if I don't always feel like it, I am making progress and this running
business is paying off.

Now it's out to dinner with the hubs.

But first, some Mac pics:

Always after our runs he hangs his head through
the seats and DROOLS on everything up front.
I think it's his way of saying "thanks".

He loves car rides.  Especially when they lead to runs.
