I gotta say, today was one of my favorite runs! I ran the Petersburg Battlefield today and it snowed. Yep, it snowed and I loved it. Unfortunately it only snowed flurries and then went away but I enjoyed every second of it.

Not to mention, I couldn't help but think about the Soldiers during the Civil War who froze in their defensive positions or who had to haul the cannons up the hills to their positions. 

Looking at all the artifacts was quite interesting. Of course it made for a longer run and sort of off the beaten path but it was well worth it. 

Getting out and clearing my mind helped tremendously. I feel out of sorts today so I figured the run would help. It did to a point but it ended up making me feel a bit worse as the day has gone on. I think it will pass and I'll head out again tomorrow.

I have to add in cross training again. I have seen a good bit of muscle atrophy and I have to reverse that so that I can run longer and better. I want to be able to run the battlefield in under an hour by the time I leave here. I think it will be possible.
