Yes, not racing today was definitely the right call. It was COLD - 7 degrees, with a windchill of -11 at the start - and the YakTrax that helped keep me from landing on my rear a few times really exhaust my legs. Feels as though I'm yanking at the pavement on every step. The wind was bad on the way out, but that was planned; since it was fairly unavoidable, the running group decided we'd rather have it at our backs for the second half of the run.

But hey! I ran today! Weather didn't beat me! :-D

    Great run out there, Carrie! I definitely feel the difference when wearing Yak Trax--they make me so slow! Excellent mileage in rough conditions.
