Running in snow is a novel experience. Every footfall means a slip or a slide this way or that and every push off the toes results in a complete lack of momentum as your foot disappears backwards before your body even starts going forward. If you are lucky enough to hit a dry patch of pavement, the sudden traction propels you forward like Usain Bolt off the blocks. Oh yes, and through all of this you are greeted by looks of mingled pity and awe.
Despite that, I enjoyed tonight's run. Only a short one, but it felt good to be out on the road again after so long. Roll on tomorrow!
