So icy and wet out there, how could I not run? I had to try my new yaktrax after all! And they were awesome! Ran from the office to the Rock Creek Parkway, cross the Memorial Bridge on the Mt. Vernon trail, and back to Georgetown via the Key bridge and the C&O canal, muddy and almost completely frozen over - saw some ducks walking and slipping on the ice, very funny! I thought they were supposed to travel South in the winter? silly ducks...

Shins didn't hurt too bad, but I probably shouldn't run tomorrow... sooooo hard not to run!!!!

I would call this a "Cool run"...

xtraining tomorrow? Maybe a swim?

Very cool indeed Eric! How's the winter down there? Not very cold at all I imagine?

Spin class today, hopefully. I need to get back in the pool soon, haven't been in a while...

Winter?

What is that?

Is it served with french fries?

No winters here, low temps is about 6-10 degrees centigrade...and of course no snow.

I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt today, I guess that gives an idea.

No te da envidia? ;)

Haha!

Actually I love winter, or the change of seasons in general, for the most part that is... I love that there is nobody out in the streets when it's cold.

I lived in San Francisco a few years and it killed me that the weather was always the same!

Pero algunos dias si, te envidio :)

Oooh you threw up on your trax? keep eating healthy and brush your teeth. Ice running make me hurl also!

Ooooo, I hope your shins get better. What is it with winter and injuries?? Or just injuries in general?
