A run in the pre-snow rain, slick but like it used to be for me

RUN outdoors again! 2.5 miles in about 27mins

If I would have been more awake, I would have run 2.22 miles!

There was a big snow storm coming in (I'm writing this the next day, maybe 8 inches and more on the way) and there was a warm spell in front of it. The old snow had melted into a slush and now a fresh pellety rain/snow came down. There was an odd feeling to the day, knowing the power could go out and knowing that Lev wouldn't be letting me drive to work. 

The run was in the dark, a light slick under my feet that didn't cause any trouble. No cars at all almost back in the neighborhood streets. Only 1-2 pedestrians and two other runners. It reminded me of the running I used to do 'back in the day' when I'd run because the weather was bad, or I'd run in spite of the fact that the weather was bad. I came home feeling great even after a short run. 

In the end a day off work! I had a dental appointment to leave for at 10:30 (and it lasted after 3pm!) so I spent the morning anxious and antsy. I painted a peach, finished an audiobook, and tried to hold to the IF goals. Failed that last one. And it turned into too much, and my stomach was upset. 

After shoveling the walk, home to more "too much". I finished off the strawberries (Patrick suggests stopping fruit for a while) in a bid to "not waste them" and I think they were wasted anyway. 100g carbs that day! That's only bad because it's my goal to have below 50. Otherwise - yum fruit. 

Went to bed AGAIN too late and too full. I'm not happy with this.
