Gray, cold, and smoggy.  The worst kind of winter running day.  I ran down to the south end of the river trail to assess the run-ability.  Guess where the icy spots were.  7:18, 7:01, 6:55, 6:59, 6:47, 7:47, 8:13, 7:09, 7:08, 7:21, 3:35.  About 2 miles of the trail are clear.  We may need to re-assess where we run on our New Year's Day run.  Average pace, 7:14.  My hands hurt.

that's too bad that it's so icy. it seems like it would be clear, but then again that's a lot of miles of trail to maintain. we can always do SHP or liberty loops. or just wear ice skates?

good run today -- looks like mile 7 was particularly treacherous.
