Icy Run
I thought this would be a fun thing to share. On February 22nd I was in Wacovia, MN with my band "downhere" and I decided to go for a run. Below is my route. I created the image using my Garmin Forerunner 201 (a gps unit), a web site (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com) and GoogleEarth for Mac. And yes, I did run straight across the lake.
Being February in Minnesota it was obviously frozen. I passed quite a few fishing huts. It was actually a nice warm day. I ended up taking off my sweater when I got to that island so I ran with just a long sleeved shirt and a t-shirt. And pants of course! Warm meaning about -2C (or 28F) and sunny.

The run ended up being a little over 7 miles and took me a little over an hour. Not too bad for a winter run across a lake!
My next marathon is booked so it's time to get back into marathon shape. Official training starts on Easter! More to come on that soon.

Wasn't that a slippery run?
Hey, you guys should start a marathon training blog, so you can keep each other up to date on your training and encourage each other.
Great idea Tracy! What do you think Glenn?
That must have been a cool run! I love when it's cold, but sunny and zero windchill! Awesome for running - if you can find a clear path to run on:) I can't wait for Spring, and running on nature trails!
