I waited until it warmed up to a balmy 22 degrees before running today. It was very bright as perfectly sunny skies reflected on eight or so inches of snow. I started out on the trails but they were too rutted and sloppy so I actually went on the streets and was happy to find good footing. There was enough untouched snow on the road shoulders that I has a soft and secure landing with every stride. Was a great run.

Today was one of those dreaded one or two times each year when I just had to run on the treadmill. It wasn't the 20 degrees that was the problem. It was that the icy roads were worse. There was no powered snow left to run on so after 45 seconds of running on the ice I opted to go back inside and run on the treadmill. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe because it was only nine miles. More likely it was because I was watching Sportscenter the whole time.

A day without any ice or snow to deal with except when I decided to take a run through the woods and got a bit lost. That would explain why I went longer than the planned 10 miles. Good times.
