Fly me to the moon...

Well there was a little bit of snow on the ground this morning, but it only amounted to about a centimeter.  It was just enough to be annoying and slippery with the warmer temps.  It also did a nice job of covering all of the icy slick spots.  You didn't know they were there until your feet started going backwards or you slipped.  On a positive note, the drains under the train tracks were fixed so there was no standing water/ice to contend with.  I ran 3 with Sasha, Mary Ann and Jeff and then turned around.  It was interesting looking at our tracks in the snow on the way back.  We were the only ones out there so there was no confusion with other footprints, and it gave me the chance to study the tracks a bit (for lack of anything else to do).  From what I could tell, I have the worst mechanics in my stride.  My left foot is pretty parallel with my body at footstrike, but I turn my right foot out.  Mine was the most pronounced in that way.  Sasha's footsrike was next, but he turned both feet out about equally.  They weren't as pronounced as my right foot, but worse than Mary Ann and Jeff.  She and Jeff tied for the most neutral footstrike.  Mary Ann turned out her right foot more, but Jeff turned out his left foot.  As far as stride length was concerned, mine was the longest, but the other three were hard to tell.  It was interesting.  Total time for the 6 was 50:50 (8:28/mile).
