Winter Storm Sparta
Sitting in DC with a canceled flight back to work and Winter Storm Sparta bearing down, I ducked out for 10 miles on trails through Rock Creek Park. Nebraska to Oregon where the road meets the trail and from there just wandering -- running would be a tad strong of a word -- over uneven snow and ice among the trees. It started in sleet and moved into freezing rain.
After a time I crossed East-West Highway and followed the Rock Creek
trail north, then the Capital Crescent from Jones Mill Road to Wisconsin
Road in Bethesda. I wandered back to DC through neighborhoods of
Bethesda and Chevy Chase. By the time I got home the sheet of ice on my
shirt and hat was approaching 1/8 of an inch.

Horrible day for a beautiful run. I'm still recovering from my rolled ankle of a few weeks ago, so today it was bike and swim in the gym as the snow and sleet came down. I wasn't entirely unhappy no to be outside. Good work out there!!
