I spent the next few hours cleaning the house while Ryan and Sam did some Christmas shopping and then we met up for lunch and to get a Christmas tree! The tree is a little bit lopsided but it looks pretty good all decorated! :)
Snow fell throughout the afternoon and by the time I woke up this morning, there was a legitimate 3" on the ground. I couldn't resist getting in a few miles before heading up to Riverlands to hike with Sam while the rest of the TMR crew ran our annual Til We Meet in Hell end of the year run, so I headed out as the sky lightened. Running in fresh powder definitely takes a bit of effort but it was so beautiful! Ran a loop around the Heath and noted lots of animal tracks, enjoyed the soft pastel palette of the sky and the snow-covered trees. Very pretty morning. (4.5 miles)
We were a bit late in leaving and the messy roads slowed us down on the way up to Turner, but as I wasn't running, I didn't care ;) Emily, Sam and I hiked out onto the course to the starting point a 1/2 mile in and then Sam chose to hang out with Jamie and Ian and the kids and play in the snow while Emily and I did a full lap. We had fun chatting while we hiked along and it was great to see all the runners zooming by along the way! A fun singletrack loop in the woods on a snowy December morning. (3.2 miles walked)
