Run on Packed Snow or Ice

So it has been snowing in Denver for 24 hours. Maybe 7 or 8 inches and it is 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, cars have melted some of the snow so now there are sheets of ice mixed in with the packed snow. On such a day I typically postpone my run. But today I slapped a pair of Yaktrax on my running shoes and went out. Yaktrax are the running shoe equivalent of chains for your tires. Worked like a charm. The "Pro" version costs about $30 retail. Great technology.
