Last night I decided to take The Steve running with me in the morning, but he's horrible on his leash, so we headed out to the Parleys Historic Nature Park so he could run unencumbered. It turns out the park is smaller than I though, with a complete loop around the main trail only coming out to a little over a mile, and since I was looking for 4.5 miles it meant lots and lots of loops. The snow on the main loop was well packed, but the outer loop was still fairly untracked. My Kahtoola MICROspikes handled the snow admirably, and I never worried too much about slipping, except on the steepest downhill stretch. I think I may be developing some shin splits, so I'm looking forward to my day off tomorrow. It's not much time to rest before my Saturday long run, so hopefully I'm just sore, not actually injured.
