With all the Nordic skiing that we've been doing since New Year's, we've been neglecting our running. Tonight we laced up the sneakers and hit the road just after dark for the first time in two months.

Some observations: The pavement is quite hard. And sticky. In order to glide, you need wheels.

Thank the Lord, though, that we can still get out there and pound out a few miles, as well as ski them and ride them. Move or die.
