Safe and Sound

Don't be jealous of the head lamp....  Ha!

It was kinda fun to use, although if you had it positioned a certain way, it made you feel a little dizzy with the light moving all over the sidewalk... so I put it up and just looked down when I was worried about ice.  And then when I looked down, all my snot would run out.  I was a hot mess.  And by hot, I mean, a frozen hot mess.  No one ever described running as glamorous.

 

4.77 Miles

Average pace of 9:47

Balmy 21 degrees, with a wind that was just strong enough to re-freeze my boogers and make me think I will never take a deep breath again.

I didn't slip on any refreezing ice... but I did trip over a piece of frozen mud.  Thankfully my running partner was right next to me and he caught me before I took us both down - Ha!

(Sorry for the 'deer in the headlights' picture... I think the combination of how frozen I was and the flash being on...caught me by surprise.)
