It worries me that I am learning to enjoy running in cold and snow, though I do wish the snow would be fresh rather than frozen and crusty. This wasn't as frozen as what I mountain biked and ran through in Santa Fe on Thanksgiving Day, luckily. Along with it just looking like a winter wonderland running in this stuff is also great training.
I met 8 other brave souls at the Cedro Peak Picnic Area off Oak Flats Rd at 9:00 for our morning run. I love running with a popular group so we have this many participants. Sandia Trail Runners Meetup Group is the most encouraging, inviting bunch of folks. I certainly see having a lot of fun with them while training for my ultimate 2014 event, the Mt Taylor 50k in Sept.It's hard to talk with a few of these folks about any race remotely near here and not be talking to
someone that has participated in the event before. Insider info can never hurt.
Next event I plan to participate with these guys, 1 January 2014, the ABQ Foothilss Hangover 50k. I won't do 50, I'm working up to that but I do hope to complete a trail half, 13.1 miles that day. We'll see.
