Running on ice... with the right equipment

It is such a beautiful day!!!  A little too warm for this time of year, since we still want our winter, but great conditions to be outside enjoying the day.
I just came back from a mid day run.  The roads are covered in ice and sleet and spikes are a necessity.

I use strap-on spikes which work pretty well, but I can see the advantage to actually having icebugs or other types of spiked shoes.

I had a really great run and actually was thinking as I ran, that I enjoy this just as much as running along the boardwalk in Huntington Beach!  Totally different experiences, but just as appreciated.  There I had the sun, the warmth, the ocean and fun people.  Here I have the fresh air, the beauty, the trails that lead through both neighborhoods and woods and the tranquility.  In HB I would get cheered on by people I met...  "You go girl!"... "Looking good!"...  Here I got stopped a couple of times by older gentlemen that were wondering what kind of spikes I wore that allowed me to run on the ice!  Hahaha!   :D

Now, time for my standard go-to lunch when I can't think of anything else to cook...

Scrambled eggs with spinach cooked in coconut oil - Why you ask?  BECAUSE - I say! (push link)
Black beans seasoned with turmeric - Why you ask?  BECAUSE - I say! (push link)
Served with Avocado, home made crackers and chili paste.
Yummy!
