Wet 'n wild

Went back out today. The snow on the roads and sidewalks has started to melt, thanks to the sun and the tons of salt sprayed by the city and citizens. Why shovel went you can salt?
Anyway, it was still a nice run. The good thing about running in snow is that it's easy to keep your speed in check. You don't feel like you are less of a man because your running at a slower pace. Actually, you feel pretty good for being out at all!
I think I'm going to have to drop the speed work, ecept for maybe a few strides. I don't see how I could maintain any kind of fast (ah ah) pace until the streets are clear. I really don't want to get injured. I'll just build my base until February-March and then go from there.
