Near Snowy Encounter

Distance: 1.19 miles
Time: 12:31
Location: Yucca Loma to Rio Vista School and back

All forecasts were predicting snow for the high desert (and much of Southern California) this night.  I was almost certain I'd be running in the snow, or at the least some rain.  But it didn't quite materialize, which is usually the case in these parts.  I had gone to the store earlier, and driving home I did see some flakes floating in the sky, but it was a very light dusting that didn't last long.  By the time I left on my run the flakes were gone and no rain either.  Though it was cold!  I did the same route I ran last week.  1.2 miles up to Yucca Loma and over to the school then back through my neighborhood.  Fewer houses have their Christmas lights up still.  But I was glad to see some still did.  The run itself was pretty good.  Each run continues to get a little quicker.  My pace has gone from 12:00/mile to now about 10:00/mile.  Still way too slow for where I want to be for the Encinitas Mile, but I'm getting there.  I just need to stick to my training plan and little by little I'll improve.  As for now I'm paying for all those months off.
