Since this is not something that happens all that often, I thought I would just like to know what everyone will do for running today!? It is my long run night and I can't run on the treadmill for 2 hours! But the pavements seem to be too slippery as well! What will you be doing?

I've noticed a few runners on the roads and they seem to be running in the road where its been gritted rather than on the pavement.
Will def. be running in the park rather than roads tonight .. might have to try running in my astro boots to give me more grip on the grass.

Did a track session last night and it was more precarious than today cos it was very icy. Suppose the secret is trying to find somewhere that hasn't been too trodden down as even lunchtime bits where lots of people had already walked were already icing up!!!
On another note, what do other runners do to protect their faces in this weather? I really enjoyed Tuesday's run (a couple of extra layers and I was fine) but found the discomfort of a freezing face almost unbearable. I know it's vain but I'm worried about skin damage from the intense cold (my skin is sensitive and I have to be careful of tiny broken capillaries). I slathered on a layer of Clinique's 'Weather Everything' environmental cream, but short of running in a balaclava (which would probably get me arrested!) I don't know what else I can do. What do other people do?
Mental note to remove make-up before leaving, as arrived home looking like Alice Cooper after two big snowflakes in the eye....
