Commons Run

I was surprised to see the thermometer reading 34 degrees this morning. Once again, it was back to tights for this morning's run. I went over to the Commons and headed out. As Snowman said yesterday, Monday's rain definitely washed away more of the snow. It also saturated the ground and the snow/ice that is left, which combined with the cooler temps made for some frozen mud and really slick ice! I wasn't feeling quite as peppy as I was on Monday's road run, but as always, it was nice to be out in the sun, running in the woods.

Flora and fauna notes: Three pairs of mallards between the two ponds, as well as a flyover Cormorant. Scared up a few turkeys out at the end of the Commons. Man, are they big birds!
