I made it out today for a short run - all of 30 minutes or so.

Running in the ice and snow is very different from running in sunny and warm weather.

• Snow absorbs sound… but the silence speaks. As it has been said, “silence is the voice of God”.
• The human body is amazing - the brain’s ability to create its own pharmaceuticals is also pretty amazing. Exercise is a great anti-depressant. Too bad it’s just so hard to do when you’re already depressed :)
• The harsher your environment, the better it is to know your route. This probably goes for life too - if you are in a bad spot in life - it is wise to have clear short term goals. Even just day to day or minute to minute, if that’s what it takes.
• Give yourself time to warm up. Time is everything. Be patient… and go with it.
