I went back to Milwaukee for the weekend. It snowed, though, in the past couple years it has done so into April. My family grilled on Saturday, I grilled with my housemates on Sunday. We’re not going to let winter stick around. I get to go to Greenville, SC this week. It’s a beautiful, small southern town. The main street is packed with incredible southern bistros.

I was able to run 10 miles in the windy, blowing snow last Saturday and hold an 8:00/mile pace.
I haven’t run as much this week. The weather really hasn’t helped with that: between Monday and Tuesday we got a ridiculous amount of snow. Monday night it started out as ice, which I had to scrape through about a solid 1/8 inch covering my entire car. Tuesday, I was on the way to work when WPR tells me that officially we shouldn’t leave home unless necessary -it should have sunk in when I was the only non suv on the road and my car (which is decently heavy) felt like a sled.
So, I did some running and cross-training indoors, then I tried a longer run outdoors tonight. There is an insane amount of ice, especially on hills. My run was more dancing, balancing, hopping, and slipping than anything else.
I did manage to make it six miles.
Oh well. It is winter.
Tuesday morning:
There was an intense amount of fog on campus today. For a bit, one couldn’t even see the next building. As it cleared during the evening, the clouds were parting and everything had this fuzzy beauty to it. Maybe it was kinda like this. Maybe not.
In other news, Ladytron’s next album, Velocifero, comes out in early June; however, you can listen to it in its entirety on their MySpace page. A couple songs (especially “Kletva”) are kinda weak, but the rest are really solid. My current favorites are their next single, “Ghosts,” and “Runaway.”
