Woke up to fresh snow on the ground (April 10th!) with more rumored to be on the way . . . where do I live?! I'm sure it will disappear from the paths quickly enough, but it will linger in the shadowy nooks of the trails, pushing the opening of trail running season out of sight again. Not sure if the right hamstring (after 2 days off) is completely back to normal, but I don't think I'm making it any worse. If I was on a football team, I guess I would list myself as "day-to-day."

More snow today (~4"+), but much "wetter" than yesterday with temperatures hovering just above the freezing mark. A few puddles here and there, but not too bad. Still flabbergasted by snow this late in the season. I can't imagine what it would be like to live in Alaska year-round.

Bridge Which Must Not Be Named (2x)
Didn't expect to be dodging snowflakes in mid-April, but Ashley reminded me yesterday that our first winter here snow fell from the sky on May 1st. Ouch. Even though I wish it was warmer, the snow is beautiful. The trees were nicely dusted today. Legs still aren't 100%, but decided that since the past couple runs haven't made anything feel worse, I'd go ahead and try out a mild (= shorter, a little more relaxed on the pace) tempo effort: 2 mile warm-up, 6 mile tempo (6:52 avg; splits = 6:47, 6:47, 6:50, 6:57, 6:56, 6:55), 2 mile cool-down.

Quick, late morning run before heading off to the zoo with Mommy and Lauren!
