You can hear the birds, the crunch of the leaves and the snow, and you can pay more attention to how you feel. Now, I think it would be weird to run WITH an iPod. As for traction, I've heard some folks have had luck with Yak Trax or by making ones own winter running shoes - although I'm nervous about trying this myself: http://www.skyrunner.com/screwshoe.htm (and of course you have to have a good packed trail to utilize this!!!<br /><br />But kudos to you for the 5am runs!!!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575577872803103610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243308476441289872.post-29489094752414539902010-12-05T10:22:21.107-05:002010-12-05T10:22:21.107-05:00The pink and black trail shoes sound awesome!
