winter wonderland

reports are that we might get some real winter precipitation of some sort tonight. i think it'll just be rain, but they've already closed about 4 or 5 school systems around here. its possible though, since its barely gotten above freezing all week. we even wound up with a busted pipe, which caused the well to get pretty low and pull some kind of junk into the filter. this caused us to go two days without water, since i didn't know what the problem was. i just thought there was still a frozen pipe somewhere. anyway, its fixed now, and we're VERY glad.
i had to do my 18-mile run wednesday in 24 degree weather. NO FUN!!! i actually started out overdressed. the route i ran was a 6-mile loop that i run from work, and i ran it three times. after the first lap, i had to get rid of a sweatshirt and one pair of gloves because i was sweating so much. i've been noticing that the longer my runs get, the slower my times get-like way too much slower. hopefully, some of that is the cold. i was really thinking i could knock a good bit off my previous marathon time, but at this rate, i might even run slower. i'll find out in a month, i guess.
wish us all luck with our snow or ice or whatever we get.
