My first post in the running section... I intend to keep a more regular running routine this year. This morning I ran 5 miles. It was an average Chicagoland-style winter day: 24 degrees (wind chill was 8), winds of 25 to 35 mph. Luckily, I was facing the wind on the way out.

I like running in snow, but I do not care for ice on sidewalks and the puddles that form eventually at the edge of every block. Invariably, I will get soggy shoes at least once or twice every winter.
