Here I am out for the late afternoon run, about a mile and a half east of Ellendale. For today's four-mile run, I took my rather bulky camera along, so it got bounced around a bit. I enjoy running on the snow, as long as it's not more than a few inches deep. A week ago we had our first real snow of the season--about six inches. I was out running (six and a half miles) as soon as the snow stopped, which was at night. I had to wear my work boots because I did not want to get snow in with my socks. Also, I wore my Yak Traks, which are a sort of snow-tread device that fits around the soles of shoes. The next day I was back to my regular running shoes (an older pair), which were pretty well soaked when I got home.
Speed work is harder on snowy and icy surfaces. I don't particularly want to fall down. So far in my short running career, I have not fallen down.
