Wow. Just when you thought it was safe to go outside.....BAM!!! Smacked with 10+ inches of heavy, wet snow and below freezing temps. This is really straining my motivation. It's freakin' MID APRIL!!! Last year at this time we had two weeks already on the trails and were approaching very respecable mid summer lap times on Pipestem. This year I'm 8-10lbs heavy and can't get any consistency other than slogging out runs on the treadmill in the Chamber of Pain.
I have to list some positives of this recent natural disaster or I'll crawl into a hole:
1) I can put off the ever tedious task of removing the trainer skewer from the rear wheel of my road bike.
2) I can make sure the snow blower still works.
3) More computer time available. (I'm really reaching here)
4) Laundry and housework are all caught up due to being relegated to the indoors.
5) It's great to see the seasons change, then change back.
6) Last, but definitely not least, more time in the Chamber of Pain!!
Well, even if the snow sticks around til June, we're still holding the RM Stoudt Off Road, so get signed up!!
I'm off to fold some clothes.
