Steve got some new gripper-things for his shoes after reading about them on the internet. Trouble is, unless the next Ice Age hits, they may never be needed (definitely weren't needed on this day, but not to worry, the lake-effect snow machine will change this). They look like crampons! Mike's got the Yak Tracks that have become fairly common among winter runners on the trails. I still want Steve to try them out because if they look promising, I'm going to get them too!

Grape House Run
A frosty morning run to the Great Grape House. I wonder if the owners know that they own a piece of runner lore? It was below zero at the start of the run.

Running shoes may cause damage to knees, hips and ankles
I may have to read that book, Born to Run, Joe has been talking about for the last several months on our Saturday runs!

Moose Mitts
Well I suppose I'd better post something so my two readers out there don't think this is a zombie blog-living on for eons after I'm off to the Great Beyond. I bought some Moose Mitts to combat what has become chronic cold hands during the winter. The Moose Mitts are also called pogies. The temperatures plummeted this week to near zero and I've wimped out on my commuting. Maybe fortified with my Moose Mitts I can venture out over the weekend when the weather supposed to moderate to the 30's during the day. I've also purchased some Snow Sneakers to keep my feet warm. I'm looking to break my personal record of +9 degrees set last year. Bring on the winter!

Tour de Fance Baby...
No time to really think about a post this morning but thought I'd let you know I haven't forgotten that the Tour is on the horizon, baby! Here's a little mountain action from Mr. Armstrong. He's in the race this year and they climb this mountain just before the ceremonial ride into Paris. Should be something. Enjoy!
