Run (Deep Snow) 58:15 [3] 4.0 mi (14:34 / mi)
Was planning to run 45 minutes, but the snow was SO DEEP that my route that I normally run was super slow to run. I ran along the side of the ski tracks because I would hate myself if I ran in the ski track. Glad to have on full gaiters and goretex shoes. Though some snow got in, it wasn't packed in like it would have been otherwise. Heart rate was supposed to climb as the run progressed on the hills, but it was super high from about, oh, 1 minute in. Wow! Super pretty on the trail.
At one point, I heard a dog coming up behind me. I started talking to the dog and next thing I know, he was jumping up on me and while I was talking (mouth open) he licked my mouth. GROSS!!! Don't get me wrong, I like dogs. I just don't want to make out with them. The owner was skiing and called the dog back and held him while he passed me.
It was a very very good workout running through this snow. I think it was about 10 inches deep. The last few tenths of a mile were packed a bit better and once I got back to the parking lot to run to my car, I was amazed at how easy it was to run on the plowed surface.
