2015-01-14 - The winter run is a gift

There is much to say about the uptick in self-esteem we get from putting in a snow covered run at freezing temps. Yes, it's never easy getting out the door but nothing good is easy. Over dress, run smaller loops from your bail out point to be safe, this will also allow you to throw off layers as you warm up, wear traction control like Yak Tracks, reflective gear if it's dark or you go in and out of darkness. Throw in some trail running for additional creds to yourself! As Running Fit Manager Steve Angerman says, there are no bad run days, just improper dressing for them.

Get out and take command of your environment!
