In the business of running competitively the show much go on regardless of weather. Took me 1 hour and 5 minutes but I got the job done! St. Louis got dumped on for about a foot of snow in some areas along the I-70 corridor including my house not far from the airport! I know it's not as bad as the snowfall totals that the northeast has seen this winter, but for St. Louis this was a big one!

Post a WARMLY toned coin with some nice Orange's, Red's and Yellow's too help thaw me out! It's supposed to get down to around zero tonight...is it spring yet??? Thanks!

    Hey...at least you still exercised, I know a lot of people that throw in the towel at the sight of snow or bad weather! And sadly I have yet to purchase a treadmill, because the nice ones are so expensive, so I am forced to go outside on a daily basis. It's easy when I am running with my athletes, but it get's a little bit more difficult on days like this one!

    You can't be playing with a full deck, Mike. No one in their right mind would run 10 miles in a foot of snow!

    Congratulations on your feat, but what were you thinking? You may never thaw out!

    Hope that your son continues to improve. That's a real challenge!

    Thanks Julian, I sincerely appreciate it. He is recovering quite well from his most recent surgery.

    And as far as playing with a full deck...I might be a couple Ace's short, lol. The key is to always have the mindset that your competitors are sitting by the fire place reading a good book while you are out putting in the hard work and gaining the competitive edge!

    Around here most people don't go outside when there is snow on the ground.

    I'm in a short sleeved shirt. I think it was 59 degrees when I came home, just after sundown.

    I doubt I would need to be thawed out after running 10 miles in snow! I think the sweat would be dripping off me. image

    I started snow running this year.

    It really isn't that hard (unless you go superfast like the OP).

    You pretty much warm up in about five minutes.

    Not to start a political discussion, but Sarah Palin runs in -20F regularly.

    Did you run at Frontier park? I saw a bunch of the halfers out there at 7:30, and I know there is a group that runs 10 @ 7am on Saturday. It would definately be a small world if you were part of the Fleet Feet organization. I just finished the no boundaries and momentum programs they run, am going to be in the GO! relay, and take part in the Tuesday and Thursday social runs.
