OMG I RAN

In the snow.  With the dog.  Back to the foggy glasses cold face world of winter running.  Both feet hurt, the right knee, the left lung.  Zeke even seemed a little older, less enthusiastic, yet we soldiered on around the park.  I secretly do enjoy winter running, being bundled against the elements.  No one runs particularly fast in the winter.  It's more of a maintenance plan, the effort, the act of not sitting on the couch, facing the cold, the slick spots on the asphalt, and iced puddles, mud, wind.  I like it.  I didn't run 15 miles or anything, as the nuance of winter running fades fast,  but for 2.5 miles it's not so bad.
