Winter

After solstice yesterday, winter is officially here. And with it, the subtle lengthening of our daylight hours - hurray!

In celebration of the start of winter, it appears that Mother Nature thought the ground should be white :-) A wet snow was falling as I began my run in the Commons this morning, the flakes whipping around in the wind and crunching beneath my feet. I headed across the fields and into the woods, enjoying the quiet that a morning snowfall brings. I got in a nice5 miles, and felt good, although things were perhaps slowed a bit by the slippery roots and the whipping wind.

Looking forward to a few days off starting tomorrow!
