Cutting down on slips

Just wanted to share this quick article from RunnersWorld.com--I feel like I live on that site these days--about little exercises to improve balance and posture and avoid falling on these icy winter roads. I can't even count the number of slips and slides I've had in the past couple weeks since we've had snow on the ground up here in Boston. And my mom, also an avid runner, ended up on a drift on the side of the road about a month ago after sliding off the road in an area that has particularly bad drainage after storms. I'll be trying these moves over the next couple of weeks to see if I notice an improvement--I know I'm not the most agile person in the world, so it's worth a shot!
