Happy New Year!


Cute girl

We went to bed way before the ball dropped last night and were up early this morning. Perhaps this has something to do with a certain little someone? :-) After a yummy breakfast of pancakes and eggs, we had a relaxing morning watching the snow fall. But I couldn't let the day go by without going for a run - can't have the first day of a new year start off with a zero in the training log! - so I headed out for a 3 mile run after lunch. I found the short loop through Highland Green a good workout, with a mixture of heavy, wet, unpacked snow on the powerlines, unplowed backroads and a bit of clear pavement too. The snow fleas were out in force on the powerlines, and I saw a number of deer, rabbit and the requisite squirrel tracks as I ran along kicking up big clumps of snow in the woods. It was a nice afternoon to be out, with just a few flakes falling, and the temperatures in the mid 30s. Not the fastest run, but it was good to get out and start the year off right!
