I enjoy my drizzle runs, so I imagine I'd enjoy the snowy ones too!

I grew up ...Winter running is my absolute favorite. I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to college in Boston, and have now settled in New York, so I'm no stranger to the snow. In the snow and ice you have to run a little slower, and I usually run in the street since it's way less icy than the sidewalks. Running in the actual snow is a little like running in the sand. Very hard, and not all that good for your knees, so sticking to the street is better. The first few times are kind of tricky, but you get the hang of it really fast. There is absolutely nothing like an early morning run when there is a little snow falling. It makes you feel like you are the only person on earth. Wishing you lots of luck if you find yourself on the east coast!Samantha Brinn Merelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15109435460094526642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118261797831917447.post-19935611959328840492013-02-22T01:11:46.920-05:002013-02-22T01:11:46.920-05:00The snow looks really pretty!! Being a Southern C...The snow looks really pretty!! Being a Southern California girl, I've never ran in snow, and I have a question for you (because my fiancé is from the East, and there's a *slight* chance we'll move to a snowy climate in our future). I was in Madison, WI last winter, and I didn't have boots, so I just walked around in my running shoes all week, but I found myself slipping and sliding all over the roads and sidewalks. So my question to you is: How do you run in snow? Do you run *in* the snow? Or the middle of the road where there isn't as much ice? Or do you just sort of gain the ability to run on slippery surfaces? I've seriously been pondering this for the last couple years, 'cause running is my life, and I'm so scared I won't be able to do it if we ever move to the East coast.
