Yesterday I attempted to get out of the gym and onto the open road for the first time in what seems like months.
But with the extensive snowfall we had prior to Christmas, and the subsequent cold spell, much of my running path is still extremely icy. To this I add the fact that my dog loves to run with me and has been couped up inside for weeks, so I decided to take her along (how can you say no to that?). This made for a terrible run. Normally I like to run with YakTraxs or "screwed shoes" in the ice, but I hadn't anticipated how icy it would be. I should have rethought that within the first quarter-mile. I managed my daily 4 miles, but couldn't tolerate much more.

Lets hope for some better weather soon.
