Change of Plans

We were all excited to spend the weekend with Jamie and Kate after Sam's swim meet in Bangor on Saturday, but with the snowstorm brought about a change of plans. Hopefully we can find a time later this winter to get up to see those guys and play with the kitties and puppies too 😀

So with that, yesterday morning, I put Sam on the team bus to head up to the meet and then headed over to Bradbury to meet up with Emma for a late morning run. What a fun treat! It was a bright, cold morning, and we were happy to find the snowmobile trail in pretty good condition from both snowmobile and fat tire bike traffic as we headed out through the east side of the park. We chatted away as we ran along, catching up on this and that and enjoying the quiet woods. Lots of tracks crisscrossing the trail too.

Conditions deteriorated slightly after the cornfield and then oddly, it appeared as if the snowmobilers had simply turned around once they reached the powerlines as there were not tracks in either direction. We ran out a few tenths but found the footing pretty bad. We did, however, come across a nice older gentleman out doing his daily 7 mile (!!) walk on the powerlines and chatted with him for a bit before turning around. You just never know who you're going to run into out on the trails!



We had the trails to ourselves on the way back too, until the final mile when we saw two fat tire bikers and then Peter, Nicole and Karen as they got in a few extra miles after the Saturday morning group run.

It was a great 10 miles with a good friend, and the perfect remedy for Friday's meh run! Thanks, Emma! 💗 (10.1 miles)

The snow started late last night and we woke up to quite a white blanket outside. There's been a bit of changeover to sleet but it's definitely looking like a winter wonderland out there! A perfect day to bake up some Superhero muffins from Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow and dream about upcoming adventures! 😋
