Exercise Type: Other

Didn't get to run today. I was expecting that. Drove home for thanksgiving and Hanukkah. Left right after class since a nor'easter storm was rolling in, and I wanted to beat it. The highways were fine, but when I got off to go through the boonies on 206, things turned to shit real quick. The storm hit and there was no salt out on the roads. Also, it was super hilly out there. The plows were getting out, but I had a 30 mile stretch of pretty bad roads. I saw at least 6 accidents, and almost spun out twice. It was very very stressful and nerve racking. I had to go slow and got home a lot later than expected. Nightfall hit as I came in on 79. Luckily I know that road. There were so many people out traveling. I hope they all stay safe. I guess I earned my winter driving stripes back. It's been a while, but I am an upstate New Yorker, it's in out blood. Soo soo relieved to get home. It's felt great. Long, stressful day, definitely looking forward to a run and the turkey trot. My right ankle and shin were kinda sore from working the gas and brake carefully for about 2 straight hours
