Today was 15℉ (-9.4℃) with a moderate wind and light snow. I tried my new Kahtoola Nanospikes over my running shoes today and am pleased to report that they worked like a charm on the uncleared sidewalks and slippery road crossings.
I have to take at least a week off of running (and other physical activity) in the middle of January, thanks to oral surgery, but I might be back for the January challenge anyway, with a curtailed goal. Best wishes for a great running year in 2015!0 -

I have been depressed because I can't run as much as I like since I don't run in the dark with the jogging stroller or take it out when it's below freezing. So I haven't been tracking here so much because of it. Anyway I made 95 for the month. 1462 for the year, up from 860 in 2013. Will try for 100+ in Jan.0
