I ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill Saturday, 30 minutes Monday, and 3 miles at the park with Pete Wednesday. Needed to walk a little.

9 degrees and snow. I ran on the trail with Pete for almost 1/2 mile. He is a standard poodle and gets moody when he doesn't get a walk. With sub zero temperatures, we haven't been out. He likes to run in the winter. He won't run in the summer - he overheats. My legs were freezing.

It was 14 below zero this morning. I know someone was out there running, but it was not me.

I set up the treadmill and ski machine and weight bench Sat. in the spare room. The weather is going from bad to worse this week and I will work out inside until it gets back to normal.

I saw 4 people running on the trail Sunday. 6 to 8 inches of snow over a layer of ice. I told 2 that they plow the bike path at Stoney Creek and salt it. Sliding on the trail can cause injury. We run for our health, not to get hurt.
