It was time for a Wednesday evening run with the Rim Runners and the meeting place is Canyon Creek Brewing so that’s a good draw BUT it’s been windy and snowing most of the day and motivation was low. However, about 5pm the precipitation stopped and I actually saw the sun through the clouds so I got my running gear on and headed to the meet up.
I had made a map so I was prepared to nail a few new streets and when I got there the snow was just starting again, mixed with some rain, and the only other runner was Shelley. There were a handful of walkers. Shelley and I both whined about the conditions which is funny because we have run in much worse than this during times of very heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures but we have a strong disdain for running in the wet and it was tempting to just bag the run and go inside and drink a beer. We headed out anyway.
Here’s my map:
We followed the map and stopped whining about a mile into the run as it became quite comfortable despite the drizzle of rain mixed with snow. Shelley had a wet foot having stepped into a pot hole on Hesper and then we both got wet feet running in the grassy area along Gabel. I wish there was something more exciting to say about the course but it’s really pretty boring: hotels, restaurants, warehouses, office building. Here’s a few photos:
When we wrapped it up we did join the now-returned walkers at the brewery for a refreshment and some good conversation.
