This is how we do it up north.<br>
Here's some pics of my 15 mile long run today on Lake Monona and yes I did run over the IM Wisconsin swim course.<br><br>

Yay for ice. I could run the lake if the ice is thick enough. Never gonna be able to swim that far.

Cool pictures - I grew up in Michigan and we used to snowmobile on lakes in the winter <img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif"> Summer is definitely a better time of year up there....

Wow. Simply. Wow

That looks like a hard surface to run on - almost like concrete. Nice and flat though!<br><br>
I used to play hockey on ponds and lakes when I lived in the Chicago area years ago. Never ran on ice.

I think I'd be too afraid of falling through the ice ... we hear so many stories about that in Canada ...

Hobey: Yep, On Monona. This is the smaller lake so I use it for runs under 20 miles. I did a 21 Miler on Lake Mendota, which is Madison other big lake.<br><br>
DonSki: it is hard!! After I had run the lake today I was making my way back home and realized the asphalt I was on felt like I was on rubber track<img alt="uhoh2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/uhoh2.gif"><br><br>
Silly Sally: I've had a few close calls though not on Monona. The ice is very thick, it's been an unusually cold winter so only once have I had a problem with thin ice.<br><br>
Though there's nothing like the sound of cracking ice to get your heart rate up!! There were actually a lot of people out on the ice today. A whole group of speed skaters and a bunch of fisherman so I figured it was pretty safe.

Sweet!<br>
We used to drive on Georgetown lake in Co every year when it froze. and run on it as in 'run & play' but it would never occur to me to run as in RUN on it.<br>
Great fun. I hope other pics pop in
