On Sunday I went to the park for my workout. I needed to do 50-70 minutes on the bike, and 20 minute run for a brick. We've had some snow and freezing rain, but I figured the would plow the path. I'm fairly certain I've seen them plow in previous years.
Imagine my surprise when I got to the path and it wasn't cleared! I saw a few hardy souls making a go of it, so I started along. Parts of the path were so bad. I did manage to find a fair stretch of mostly clear road, but it was a very challenging ride. I felt like I needed an all-terrain vehicle. My poor bike just was not up to the challenge.
For once I am grateful I don't have toe clips - with as much sliding around as I was doing I am sure I would have fallen over if I couldn't get my feet out to counterbalance in time.
I only did 50 minute ride, partly because I mismanaged my time and I wanted to get to a tri workshop (which actually was not helpful for me). I did get the full 20 minute run in. I did more running and less walking this week.
I missed Monday's workout, but I'm not going to berate myself for it. I'll just make sure I get going again tomorrow.

Hang in there, Diana. Sounds like you're doing pretty good -- a 50 minute bike and 20 minute run is a lot of work.
(I'm only now running after 3 weeks off and two of PT... I should be ready for a tri some time around NEVER at this rate.)
Good luck!
