No run for me today-- it was all of 2 degrees F when I would normally have headed out, with very treacherous footing. (I've run in single digit temps this winter, but only when the pavement was clear). And no run yesterday, either-- it was 15 F with 15 mph winds (that was ok), and 2 or 3 inches of pristine, untouched snow on the ground with more still falling pretty hard. I did start out, but after .25 mile decided it was crazy and turned around.
Instead of running, I've gotten in some brisk walks-- about 4 miles on Saturday, and more than that today probably. It's not the same as running, but walking 13-15 min miles on snow and ice while carrying a full backpack is a bit of a workout....
I can't wait for the thaw! And I'm totally in awe of people who keep on running in these conditions!
