Snow!

Beautiful run this morning - although a bit chilly at 18 degrees. Went out for an hour long run and logged 6.51 miles. The countryside was incredible - the trees were blanketed with snow. Last week I picked up some duenorth traction aids for my shoes and they worked perfect on the icy and snow covered roads. Great deal at Walmart for only $13.00. They have 6 tungsten carbide spikes, rather than the springs on other ones like YakTrax. Definitely felt more comfortable where there were stretches of dry payment. I've used the spring type ones before and always felt like I was sliding when on regular pavement. Two more weeks of building up some mileage and then beginning the Hal Higdon 18 Week Novice II Marathon Training Guide. Feeling great!
