Ok you know you've lived in Minnesota a little too long when 20 degrees looks and feels warm enough to go run outside. But that is exactly what I did today. Wearing only long underwear leggings, shorts, technical long sleeve shirt, fleece zip-up, hat and gloves I was off running my favorite course through the freshly fallen snow. I don't know how many of you have been running in the depths of winter before but it's a workout! You spend most of the time really watching for ice and jumping sides of the path avoiding it, so much harder than just running, not to mention the slippery footing in the snow. I think I'm going to have to get yak tracks if I'm going to keep this up, I did see footprints with them on the path. Not the greatest run ever but it was 20 degrees out, fresh snow, I'm out of running shape and I had been skating for nearly 2 hours just prior. It was a good kick-off to the training season!
