Due to a tight time schedule and, lets be honest, a craving for spring, I ran my 4 mile loop.  This loop is still covered in ice and loose snow.  Think running on a sand covered sidewalk.  This was a 45 min Z2 (moderate) day, but 35 would have to do.  I removed some of the studs from my Brooks to help the comfort level--and that seemed to work, although the traction was not nearly as good.  There were several moments where I thought for sure I was going down.

The weather was nice, my cold-weather gear doing its job--and it felt absolutely wonderful to be outside again!

Today will be another tough day to get a run in because of school conferences and my yearbook deadline--but we'll see what I can manage...
