Toronto (and most of Canada) got slapped by its first big storm this weekend.
Snow started overnight on Friday and is heavier than ever as I write at lunchtime on Sunday.
These photos are from my apartment this morning.
Needless to say, I ran anyway (well, yesterday...)
I came back from shovelling about 20cm of snow this morning, and came to the conclusion there isn't much running to be had right now.
Yesterday's run was... well... like running on ice. Funny - I was.
Here's a tip (I actually thought of this a long time back but forgot when designing yesterday's route): Don't run through little-used parks in winter.
- Trails aren't maintained
- Paths can be like an ice rink
- Uneven snow can break ankles
I found myself running off the (relatively clear) path in the park and through the thick snow, to avoid my feet going out from under me with every step.
Aside from that, the run was pretty good. I forced myself to get out of my immediate area - I headed north on the subway and ran through some areas I hadn't explored before. Slow and steady given the conditions, but it was supposed to be a recovery run anyway.
And so... the first full week of Boston training begins!
