Day 135: Wed Dec 25th Christmas Day

Day One Hundred Thirty-five:

Christmas Day

Beautiful day!  Bright blue skies, clean air and a great run w/ Jax after waking up at the crack of dawn, downing some coffee and watching the girls unwrap their Christmas presents.   I can honestly say I really wasn't in the mood to change out of my cozy pajamas, nor step away from the cookies for breakfast, but once I was outside it was well worth it.  Jax and I cruised along the quiet roads.  The trail was too crunchy with ice and snow so it was a road running kind of morning.  People were friendly waving as we ran by,  talking about the beautiful day and some saying Merry Christmas. 

                                                                                                         Merry Christmas!  

Day 130: Fri Dec 20th - Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow and more Snow

Day One Hundred Thirty:  
Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow, snow.

Another quick run. Only a couple miles today as the roads were challenging. My ankles were wobbling in the pressed snow that would give under my feet slightly, making the roadway unstable. It was like running in frozen slushy hard packed thick sand. So after a couple miles, I decided to call it a day.

It was pretty outside however, and not overly cold. The roads were empty for the most part, perhaps people decided to chill out at home today or go into work late.

Good news!  The air is clean and clear! Love it!
