Snow day! As 75% of the US is currently under a blanket of snow, Socorro joined the rest of the country and was hit with a winter storm that brought plenty of snow and freezing temperatures. As all Socorro does when it snows, we headed to the golf course to go sledding. We had fun but the temperature was in the low single digits and it didn't take long before Emma wanted to leave.

We have had a nice mid week break from school as it has been canceled for the past 2 days. I wonder how many snow days they plan into the calendar? I hope we go back to school tomorrow as I don't want to be making up days in June! The kids here don't need much of an excuse not to come to school so if there were school I doubt we'd be able to get much accomplished... sad. It would be a wasted day but it beats coming in after Memorial Day.

The winter weather however has not dampened my training in the least. I am now glad that we bought a treadmill last year as I have been able to keep up with the base training despite the weather. Unfortunately the University has been closed so that means that the pool has been closed too. And I need to get my bike trainer back from a friend I lent it to. But the running has been great and I feel it's the best bang for your time. Plus it goes with my early season training plan as I have 3 running races coming up in the next 3 months.

Thanks for checking in!
