Easy run + level 2 Shred.

5:18 am, 17°F, 45% humidity, wind 2 SE, waning crescent moon.

How is it that the temperature dropped 3 degrees between 5 and 6 am? I've seen it do that before and it always perplexes me. I would think the overnight low would bottom out earlier and that the temperature would be rising by that time.

My run was a little icier today than yesterday because we actually had a little melting yesterday and then it froze again, but I didn't run into any significant problems.

I saw a couple of other runners this morning. I haven't been seeing many people out early in the morning lately.

AP: 9:24. Splits: 10:01, 9:38, 9:31, 9:13, 9:13, 9:05, 0.38 @ 8:40.

**Update**

It was time to go to work, but I took a nap instead. Now I have to go to work.

The temps here tend to bottom out about a half hour before sunrise, so depending on when sunrise is out there, that might be what's going on...

Way to get out there in the icy early morning. Out of shear curiosity (and for the edification of Southerner who might find himself running in occasional icy conditions), do you do anything special to deal with icy roads/trails? Shoe screws? Yaktrax?

I use Yaktax if there's more than about a half inch of snow on the ground. If there's more than about 2 inches of snow on the ground, I stay inside, so it's a narrow window for Yaktrax usage.

Great job getting out there. I woke up at 5 and it was zero degrees. I went back to bed and hoped for the best. I finally got to get in a run today. It actually got colder so I said screw it and went out anyway! Glad I did!

Brrrr! You're like Wonder Woman! (I think you'll remember that show from long ago).

You've got me curious as to if there are any runners out around my hood early morning during this cold snap...I guess I'll never know.

Way to get out in the icy cold conditions. I can't beleive there are other runners out there with you. I guess we are all a bit crazy!

How long till summer?

You are crazy...crazy awesome!

You deserved the nap after the icy run!
