Z3 with some Z2 spots. I was holding effort to avoid busting my ass (which I did once in a downhill turn) on the numerous spots of black ice that were out there. I spent most of today running over broken ice in an attempt to maintain traction over the extremely slippery surface. Running downhill had a distinctly Keystone Kops flavor to it today. The positive splits are as much a function of legs being more tired from dodging unsafe ground. Today marked the first run in four days, though. Yesterday would've been a run had it not been freezing rain where I was at the time.

Yesterday morning in Fayetteville, however, was marked by snow with sleet and some freezing rain. That snow and water froze over, creating a nice ice rink throughout scenic North Carolina.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if I'm not at work tomorrow, given that the temperatures are not likely to go much above 40F today.
