After six days of travel, eating, drinking, hanging out with family and friends, relaxing, eating some more, taking some nice walks and exploring, and eating again 😂 it was time to get back to reality and back to running! OK, so I was planning to wait until Monday but I couldn't resist the beautiful weather on Saturday to get out on the trails! Plus, what's two days in the scheme of things? 😉 I headed out mid-morning for a run down to the river and back. There was a fair amount of snow on the ground with conditions being typical early winter variable so it was slow going and my legs were a bit sluggish after almost of a week off, but overall, things didn't feel too badly and it was a bright and beautiful cold morning to be out! (5.3 miles)

A few ice pancakes floating out on the river
After lunch while Ryan was out for his run, Sam and I headed over to the Cathance for the first snow walk of the season! It was nice to wander a bit farther out on the trail system and as always, it is a treat to share some time in the woods with Sam 💗 (1.6. miles walked)

Lots of cool ice formations today!
Had to stop to make a snowman! ⛄

Rain started overnight on Saturday, so we spent a lazy Sunday in our PJs, getting a few things done around the house and relaxing. Finally around 2:00 pm, the sky was lightening ever so slightly and it seemed to only be drizzling, so I got on my running gear and headed out the door. Very sloppy wet conditions on the powerlines and icy, slushy, wet conditions on the back dirt road, but there were a few easy pavement miles in between at least 😊😉 (5.0 miles)
Once I got back and got showered up, I went right back into my PJs. #winning #lazysunday
