The strom's over, so more people were cautiously out and about.  My hunt for plowed sidewalks led me to a new running route.  The loop snakes through the east side of campus and part of a neighborhood.  I didn't run through the neighborhood section today because I was tried of doing high knees workouts.  Four tenths of a mile was plenty for me.  And I didn't wear leggings under my pants, so my legs were bathed in snow again and again.  I am grateful for plowed sidewalks.

Oh My! I was wondering if you were running in boots or what?! You are a trooper! What good stories you will have for your kids!

Thanks for the complements.

I was contemplating wearing boots yesterday, but they are just too bulky. I've kept to my Nike Pegasus.
