The snow came.

And I did not run.

I wimped out! I could have run in the snow but I just didn't. I ran 5 super-duper miles on Friday, in the sun, while my son played with the neighbor's kid. It was just great to get out there.

On Saturday, I had tons of errands to run in the morning and then I had to get ready to have some friends over for dinner. Still, I had time to run. And yet, once it started to snow I decided not to run.

Owen told me that I needed to get out there. Needed to prove my toughness. He was probably right but I didn't listen to him.

No biggie. It was a good day overall. Sunday will bring better running weather and I'll be out there, logging some miles. In the meantime, here's a peek at how much my son enjoyed the snow:

(We got about 2 inches of snow, but it was good packing snow, so it was perfect for snowman making!)

I hope you're all having a great weekend!

Oh, and THANKS for all the comments on Friday's post! My Cans for Comments is off to a good start!

That is an awesome snowman!! Sounds like you're enjoying your snow, even though it's been interrupting your running schedule. Have a great weekend!

I went out yesterday morning before the snow started - I'm not sure I would have later in the day, either.

I love running in the snow. It was flurrying (is that a word?) when I went out, so pretty!

That's a huge snowman for only 2 inches of snow!

snowman making is WAY more important than running. Making memories... :-)

Stuart said...

You made that from 2" wow!

Lisa said...

You're lucky to have gotten actual snow! We had a nasty rain/snow/slush mix and nothing stuck. It does have something to do with all the heat from the buildings in the city, but it was so gross to be outside, I wish we had actually had some snow to make it a bit better!

Gotta love the snowmen!

Diana said...

You are so hard core to even have considered it :) I would wimp out ALL winter long and run the treadmil! lol.
Snowmen! I miss making those...next year after moving I'll have to remember this excitement.

Nicki said...

I didn't run in the snow either! I even went out the day before to get some cold weather running gear, but the snow never let up, and I just didn't want to run with it hitting me in the face. :)

Aileen said...

There's plenty more Winter and snow left for you to prove your toughness! Don't worry about it...it looks like you and your son had that much more fun :)

Lindsay said...

Kenley said...

Great Snowman! I am quite sure that there will be more fun snow to go run in. You will be begging for summer soon, unless you are one of those types that love winter. (unlike me) Have fun.
