slippery slope

forget expensive extreme sports. you can get the adrenaline rush by running on icy streets on a dark hour. oh the feeling of danger when you don't know if your next step will hold or not! talking about living on the edge.


joking aside, it does improve one's reaction speed when you realize mid-step that there is no friction under your foot.  


but it is rather annoying as well. 


i didn't fall on my ass this morning but it would appear that if i intend to keep it like that, i have to switch to the treadmill -- at least until the temperature either rises above zero again or it snows so that that sneaky black ice is properly covered.


sigh.
