Day 2 Running

you know the flailing arms and dance moves you pull when walking over ice?
really slippery ice?  and not just the type that you can run and then slide on because it's smooth like glass.  but glassy ice that has polished over peoples' shoe imprints when the ice was but a slushy, snowy mess?

that's what i went running on today.  well, not completely.  i walked on those.  for the most part, the sidewalks are cleared.  but there are a few places that the sun doesn't really hit, which means: ice patches.

so, i'm running along, running along, running along.  slipping on black ice, running along.  and then i see a patch of dangerous ice ahead.  it looks like it might have some snow left on it, meaning, grippable, by shoes standards.

and each time, i go from a nicely paced jog into the arm-flailing dance that would put michael jackson to shame (if he were still alive). 

but so far i haven't fallen...yet...
