great Long run Gyro, Abbott, Boardwalk 12.1 km 01:30 11:59 pace

The temp warmed up to zero today so I chose to do my long run outside. It had snowed about 4-6" last night but luckily, much of the path had been plowed. However, the sections on the road were pretty messy and the road was too slippery to run in my Newtons so I wore my Pearl Izumi trail shoes which have much better traction. Still my pace was pretty slow in the snow and I took several walk breaks, both forced by conditions and by choice. It was definitely nice to get outside again.

-1C to 0. tights, LS tech, mid zero jersey, Versa jacket,cap, head band. Had scarf and mitts to start. I was concerned about snow getting into my shoes so I rigged up some temporary gaiters with an old pair of socks, and I slipped thin plastic veggie bags over my socks to keep my feet warmer. They worked well.
