Having not gone on my long run this weekend, I had to make up for it today. WHAT. A. DISASTER. I went to my first two classes and zipped home to run before needing to return for labor law. Having checked the weather and hour-by-hour forecast approximately 4 times (of course while in class), I felt confident that I could do a quick (haha) 9 mile run and be done hours before it was supposed to rain.

| SNOW?! |
Well, it didn't rain... But a mile into the run it started to snow. Yes, on April 18th it snowed an inch and a half in Spokane, WA. I believe that makes reason #582 on the list of
Why I Hate Spokanistan. If the snow wasn't bad enough, I also managed to trip and concurrently drop and shatter my iPhone screen. It still works just fine, but it doesn't look pretty.

| Sun so bright I needed to squint... |
Around mile 8, it stopped snowing and I was still going strong. Oddly enough, the sun came out and I wished I had my sun glasses. Snow clouds loomed in the distance in all directions, but the end of my run was in the sun. I decided to extend my usual 9 mile route and wound up doing 11.3 miles. I'm not sure how well I'll be walking tomorrow, but for the most part I felt pretty darn good. I will likely only do 8-9 miles next weekend while home for Easter, but will probably attempt between 13-14 miles the following weekend. If all goes as planned, I may survive this marathon after all! I certainly won't be setting a personal record, but I just may finish!
Of course the sun didn't last. Here's what it looked like on my drive back down to school.
