Superbowl 10k revisited and Shammy's B'day

Lehigh valley parkway, where run takes place

We celebrated Shammy's birthday with a quiet dinner out at a Thai restaurant, we were both pretty tired after our 5:30am starts these last few weeks with Shammy's work. He has had a week long celebration though, starting with dinner out on Saturday night with Muneer, Raj and Pallavi, drinks on Friday with friends before the snow started, and then last night he had more birthday cakes and pressies with our friend's Ash and Krish.
The weather here has been interesting to say the least with some serious snow around 8 inches in which we even had to get help to push the car out of its parking spot and I managed to follow the tracks of a 4 wheel drive in front to get to work. The snow hit Friday night/ Saturday morning and cleared for a beautiful sunny day that reached just below zero degrees celsius for our run. We started off with numb fingers and toes but by the time we had climbed the first few hills we were warmed up enough. We both ran well, Shammy came in just before me (50:23) and I was happy after knocking over 8 mins off last years time (50:38).

The next fun for us is our holiday to Australia and India, the only downside being that Shammy is not leaving with me but coming later.
