Michigan Winters!

Michigan Winters are not usually this bad, but alas I love it! SNOW, SNOW and more SNOW!!!! The snow is awesome for skiing which I do, but not for the running. Here is the problem: running in the snow is aggrivating my IT Band and right foot!!! I didn't have this problem last year because the deepest snow I ran in was 2 inches which was lovely for YakTrax. So, I have been relegated to the treadmill for the past month and while my feet and knees thank me my mind is about to explode! I have 9 miles this weekend and I just saw they plowed the bike path. Hopefully, my IT Band and foot will hold up on the pavement. Beacuse my mind really does need the break right now!
