| Yesterday's snowstorm forced me to abandon my run today. It might get a bit tough now with so little daylight, I don't have a treadmill or gym membership, and shrinking safe running areas when it snows and ices up the way it did.
But then, you know who else had a same sort of problem? The Finns. Who were some of the best distance runners in the first half of the 20th century? The Finns. What did a lot of them do in winter and spring before the summer got rolling? Walking. They would walk a lot of miles to crosstrain, maintain and build aerobic fitness.
So I walked 5 fast miles after work today.
Hopefully I'll be able to run on Saturday. |
