Hello all! Hope all is well on the running and recuperating fronts. It's going OK with me, just finished 5.5 in about a half inch of snow. It's amazing how much the snow kicks my butt. Just that little bit of slip wears me out fast. I wore my trail shoes too, which who knows since they are heavy maybe it was just the shoes?

BikeChick this is my second half and I had a LOT of pain when I first started running last year. I have historically only been a cyclist. I did tons of icing on my shins which works amazing, I highly recommend it. It's good too if you want/need to avoid ibuprofen. This year it isn't as painful but I'm still feeling those familiar creeks and twinges as I start to up my mileage. I think it just comes with the territory, but it's worth it.
