Running in a snow storm is fun, but there are some dangers.You have to look out for puddles.
Running in wet sneakers is ok, but in near freezing temps is not a good idea. A four mile run takes me 42-43 minutes. That is a long time to expose your toes.
You have to look out for clumps of snow falling off of trees. As the temp rises, clumps of snow the size of plates came crashing down around me. Once again, running for 40 plus minutes in the cold is fine, but you want to stay dry.
Most important, you want to make sure that the snow plows see you. (It's good for you to see them, but since
they weigh more, considerably more, you want them to see you.)I hate running in cold weather, so to stay motivated I have my mega motivation mix in the iPod.

People look at me like I'm crazy. Maybe I am, but to be ready for Cozumel, I feel that I cannot take too much time off between runs.
First mile felt great.
Second mile the knee started to let me know it was there. Went away, came back during 3 and 4th miles.
Heat & stretch b4 run. Ice and stretch after.
I used to take this pain as a sign that I was done with running. Now I just see it as an annoyance I have to put up with on the road to the Ironman
