The last two days have been snow days around here. No school for the kids, difficult if not impossible running conditions (although I did witness two diehards out on Santa Fe trail). Snow days in Colorado can be fun. I generally complain about it but really, if you have no where to be, no long run scheduled and a stocked fridge, snow days are nice. I totally breathed a sigh of relief these past two days… grateful that I didn’t choose to run the full Las Vegas Rock n’ Roll Marathon, opting instead for the half. I did my usual Wednesday speed work on the treadmill – the one time I actually like using that machine. Today, I declared rest/recovery as it has been about week since my last chill day. Unless you count shoveling snow drifts for an hour a work out… cross train maybe? I mean it was a lot of snow … 
Ok all kidding aside, snow fall totals in our neighborhood weren’t overwhelming or anything but I guess winds were out of the east, because the snow seemed to all pile up right in front of my house – the driveway, the doorway. Here are a few pictures from our first offical fall 2009 snow day… I am sure there are plenty more snowy days to come!
