Running in the Snow!

    Running keeps me sane. It's one of my favorite ways to exercise.  Unfortunately,  the recent snow around me has taken this away. Until today...

    Now I can thoroughly enjoy the views of Lonely lake again.  I recently purchased some Yaktrax.  I tried on a friend's pair before I purchased them, and they seemed pretty great. They did have an issue with coming out of place

 Both when I was running 

and later, when I was hiking. Overall, though, it did give me back some freedom I did not have before I bought them. Yaktrax did not sponsor me  to review this, I just thought I would share my secret to snow running before you hurt yourself. They are perfect on the road and over solid ice, where I didn't have to slow down one bit. I think the uneven trail caused the slippage. I will fiddle with them more and keep you updated if I find better results later on. 

As for Lonely Lake again, photos couldn't capture the beauty I saw.

But I think you can clearly see how amazing this snowglobe I live in is to look at.

 The trail is not far or difficult, and right on Gunflint Lodge property. Just don't forget to watch your head.
