Over the past few days on Twitter, I saw lots of tweets from friends talking about the snow storm that hit Atlanta on Sunday night. Hashtags for “Snowcation,” “ATLsnow,” and “Hothlanta” have popped up on Twitter and there’s even a Foursquare badge for the storm.
Paved surfaces have iced over and people are urged to stay home. But is this actually a good time to get a run in outside? Perhaps -- if you’ve got the right gear.
My husband went on a run yesterday and he only encountered one problem area – Atlanta’s infamous steel-plate covers used for potholes. Otherwise, he had a good run. Me? I’m the type to slip on the front stoop, so I stayed inside.
If you’ve had a case of cabin fever and ventured outside for a run, let me know. I’m looking for stories (and tips) for cold-weather running in the frozen tundra of the south. Otherwise know as “Hothlanta.”
Until then, stay safe on your runs.
