Let is snow, let it snow, let it.... snow?


The snow started yesterday at 2pm, and it has pretty much been SITTING on Boston since it started. The total accumulation so far MUST be around 8-10 inches. My roommate Betsy and I had planned on going for a 10-mile run this morning. We assumed the snow would have stopped by then and that the roads would at least be clear enough for us to run with traffic. No such luck. After spending the majority of the day decorating our appartment in preparations for our annual holiday party, we decided it was time to brave the storm - snow and all. Running up Beacon Street on the side walk was amusing, as we passed groups of college students coming out of the Cleveland Circle bars, laughing at us, and even having one run after us for about 100 yards. Then we made our way into Brighton Center over to Warren Ave, where the road was clear enough for us to pretty much run down the center back to Brookline. It may have been slow... but now we have conquered yet another challenge involved in training for a marathon in the dead of winter....
