I guess I will have to bite the bullet one of these days and buy that fancy winter gear. Otherwise I'll be stuck in the city forever. Those snowshoes look cool.

The right tools, friend: Snowshoes or yaktrax. My wife picked me up a new pair of Dion racing snowshoes for Christmas; about the smallest allowable for competition but would have helped you stay afloat. For the already packed stuff, yaktrax are easy and fun, or you can use short screws with a hex head for traction (make sure they're short and don't go all the way through the sole). Something comparable will give you a leg up on Ma Nature, while keeping those legs right where they belong--firmly below you. Just strap up, forget about pace, have fun and get in a kick-butt workout. All that aside, kudos for battling ... know you're not one to let a 'little' thing like that keep you idled. Ouch.

Sorry to hear about the fall - you get extra macho dude points for the run. Owee! Sorry to hear about the fall – you get extra macho dude points for the run.

But it will be back in the 20Fs by mid-week. Wow. Those were really hard runs, but they will only make an even tougher runner. Take good care of yourself and return back in one piece.
