Tis the Season

Winter Running

Some people love it some people hate it. I however LOVE it. I dont know what it is, but running on snow is just a beautiful experience. As corny as that sounds, its true. The scenery, the cool air, and the feeling of snow on your feet. I find that I step quicker, and my running gate/foot gate changes completely. I run a bit slower, harder, but the runner's high hits pretty early.

Water, GU, and my ipod, bring it on winter running.

I do however dislike when the weather hits a specific temperature. For some reason when its in the 32-35 degrees, my traction is shot. But when its about 25-30 I am just fine. My legs, hamstrings, and IT bands begin to work TOO hard when its in the 32-35.

Goal for winter running: Do not run past 10 degrees, and try not to get hit this year by a car. There was a very close call last season.....
