Ice running

Ran tonight with ice on the ground for the first time. I admit that I have been a bit chicken. I am normally a klutz that is challenged by walking on ice. I also have a deep fear of falling and injuring myself. So the rain and snow we got on Saturday drove me to the treadmill. But that sucks also! Time to try the new no-slip thingies with the spikes on the bottom that fit over my shoes. Wunderbar!!! Felt like I was running normal with no slips at all. Even better, the greenway was "plowed", giving me a fairly level, albeit, ice covered surface. But it is better than dodging cars on the ice covered roads and it was a peaceful workout. In fact, I only saw one other runner out (at 9:00 to 10:00 pm in the 5* windchill!!!)

Looking forward to another late run tomorrow night.
