Snowy run around Prospect Park

I made a bit of a social observation on my run today. On the West side of Prospect Park the sidewalk was salted and cleared - that's where all the nice houses are...as I ran around the South end of the Park there was a bit of snow accumulation. When I hit the east side where it's a little more economically 'diverse' there was too much snow to run safely on the sidewalk and I had to move to the road inside the Park (see map here....http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2502616)



I ran a lot faster as I was actually kicking my heels up a bit for a change. I think this is the key to me picking up a bit of speed. Unfortunately it burned me out and I ended up walking a little bit as my HR was way out of zone.

Still need to get in more than a run a week - managed to get on the treadmill once this week in Boston. Hoping this week will be a bit easier on lifestyle, committing to not watch TV and get up early for the runs.
