Now that winter is here in full force after the 10 inches of snow yesterday and another storm coming Saturday night/Sunday, I wanted to say a few words about the true enemy of runners everywhere.
ICE.
More than cold and snow and wind and rain, ice can do more damage to you than anything.
As a result, please curtail or eliminate running outdoors in the dark. That means early a.m. runs and later p.m. runs should be in the McCann Field House or treadmills until the ice danger abates. Which might not be till April, at this point.
With a big snowpack now, what happens is days like today (40 degrees) make some of the snow melt onto pavement and sidewalks. Then, at night, it gets cold (below 20 degrees) and that melt freezes.
AND THAT'S DANGEROUS.
So avoid the ice, and keep running strong.
