Yaktrax!
Today I signed up for the Green Bay Marathon, which is May 18th, 2008. I've done a couple of short runs over break with my new running toy..."Yaktrax" basically are bungee cords with metal springs wrapped around them which attach to shoes and give great traction in snow. I tried them out about a week ago during that windstorm, 3 miles from my house in Oak Creek on ice and pavement. Also did 3 yesterday at southshore, through 'death valley' and back. That was like running on packed sand with all the snow and ice, but the shoes worked really well and it was a good workout. I'm looking forward to getting back into running this semester... gotta stay sane.
Also, my "Marathon Mix 5" wasn't my best running mix ever... too many slow sentimental songs and not enough actual running music, but it should mix in well with the other stuff on my ipod to get me through the longer runs. Ah well. Back to Madison tonight--I'm working 8 days in a row next week if the damn ice rinks ever freeze over.
