Just a bit icy.

When the temperature just reaches the freezing mark, the roads can be quite deceiving, especially when the sun goes down after a sunny day. Tonight was one of those nights. Driving home from work the weather looked great. I wanted to avoid the gym, even though there was still a bit of snow and ice out. But once Jennifer and I (and the dog) got out there, it became clear that anything wet should be avoided. The pavement was still wet from the day's melt, but with dropping temperatures it was beginning to re-freeze. I gave Jennifer my YakTrax (chivalry is still alive - at least I can tell myself that) and I managed to stay on my feet. But that always makes the run a bit more challenging. 4 miles down.
