Get Out
Sunday, January 24th, 2010
One of the biggest winter myths is that the winter cold and flu is caused by the drop in temperature when in reality, people are just spending too much time inside catching bugs from one another!
So get off the dreadmill and get outside people!
Despite being a little chili out there, winter is still a beautiful time to get out! Today was a bright and sunny 30 degrees so I decided to get some snowy trail running in while it was still cold and before a big thaw comes tomorrow and it all turns to mud.
I took the frankenshoes out for another test and loved ‘em. The screws made my feet sore with too much running on ice or pavement, but packed snow is definitely their sweet spot. I logged somewhere between 5 and 6 miles and almost excusively packed snow and they performed like rockstars. I was flying down steep descents and climbing up snowy hills without hesitation.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Before you know it, spring will be on our doorsteps and all that soft white stuff will be a distant memory.
