January 28 - Easy Neighborhood Run.  Park was closed and covered with at least a foot of snow.  Neighborhood streets were clearer, but still covered with snow and ice.  So I ran in improvised running cleats that I prepared the night before!  Inserted screws (head first) into the soles with the sharp ends making contact with the ground.  My wife suggested it as opposed to what I saw on youtube (screwed in regularly with the heads making contact with the ground).  It worked like a charm and I had great traction! Ran 6.20 miles in 49:21 (7:57 p/mi).
