I went out on my third...no fourth, snow run today. We never get snow. Oh we get a smattering once or twice a year, and it's gone within 24 hours. Last year we got more than usual, but it would snow, then it would rain, then it would freeze and it wasn't like this year.

This year it is fluffy and beautiful and just AMAZING!

So today I decided I was going to run out to Costco from my house. It's about ten miles. Roy would take the bus and meet me and we'd pick stuff up, then take the bus home. As I got further north, though, the snow got deeper! It was up to my knees! Snow up to ones knees does not HAPPEN in western Washington! Initially I was simply running in the road. Not a lot of traffic out in the morning, so it's pretty safe. Unfortunately at five miles I hit a spot where the road narrowed and there was construction stuff all around. I just didn't feel safe going around or through that. Who knows what might be under the snow? So I stopped them, caught the next bus (40 min later, standing in snow midway to my knees), and met Roy. We trudged over the Costco, had lunch, picked up some stuff, and took a bus home.

I did a video runcast of my snow run two days ago. It was gorgeous. If you're interested it is at www.journey-fitness.com/wordpress

I also posted it at www.runcast.tv. I'm MsTeechur on Runcast and have four runcast videos. One of my normal "weekend" run to Starbucks. One of the Seattle Marathon. One of the Toys for Tots 5k...and then this one. Good stuff!
