Weather: 40 degrees and raining
Comments: Thank goodness for Yaks Traks (chains for my shoes) . I was on ice and snow 90 percent of the run. I ran up Marquam trail to Council Crest. Next I ran along Fairmont Loop until I had to take a detour due to a large tree that fell across the road. I worked my way back up to Council Crest road and then back down Mcdonnell (that was closed to cars due to steepness and large snow drifts) where I got back to Farimont Loop. Then I ran down to Marquam trail, took a left towards Marquam Shelter and made my way back. This took 1:24 and was about 6 miles. Slipping around requires extra energy for balance and result in a tough workout. I seem to get my "snow legs" after about 45 minutes.

Well that sounds much more exciting than my treadmill run. I did 1:25 min at a slow pace since I was feeling for like a truck just hit me vs. running me over like yesterday. Cold is moving to a cough so hopefully it won't go south!
