Ran at daybreak in white-lined twilight with the only sound the distant rumbling of snow underfoot.

Good workout in this morning. Light variable speed on the track for three miles. On the way back, running up the road, I spotted a Toyota ahead in the snow, defeatedly spinning its front tires as it tried to get back to the top of the hill. I paused to help push her out of the road (I think that's the direction she wanted to go), then moved aside as a four-wheel truck with chains came slowly down, alternately braking and sliding. And as I stood in the frost-vapored morning air, watching the truck very slowly slide by sideways, I thought, "I should be running hill repeats on this thing."

1/2 mile warm up,
3 x a mile at variable speed,
1/2 mile warm down,
2 x car pushes on ice
