Ice

There was a coating of ice on everything this morning. I just can't get too eager about running in ice. Snow is fine, rain is okay, but ice - I keep on thinking how I'm going to break my wrist when I fall.

Getting the dogs out for a morning break was tough enough - why must they pull hard when it's slippery? - but running would have been impossible. The trees were lovely, all coated with sugar. But the sidewalks were impassable and the blacktop was patchy - just wet in most places, but icy in a few places and not always obvious.

So, it was back on the exercise bicycle again.
