Of course winter is not truly over, but this week it has most certainly felt like spring, with the time change, the return of the red-winged blackbirds 😍 and the melting snow. Plus Saturday and Sunday were downright balmy!
Monday was a day off from running, and the high school winter sports awards night. It was a small group of swimmers up on stage, but hearing all their accomplishments read out was quite impressive!
Thursday, I knew I wouldn’t have time to walk later in the afternoon so decided to go out for a morning walk. For some reason going for a walk at 5:45 am in the dark seems weirder than going for a run at 5:45 am in the dark 🤷♀️ 🤪 but good to get in a bit of movement. Cold, calm and dark with a cool moon above. (2.6 miles walked)
Friday, I met up with Val over at Bradbury for a run at 10:00 after getting some of my errands crossed off the list earlier in the morning. We weren't sure what we'd find for conditions, but honestly, it was better than I would have expected! Definitely some ice, some bare spots and soft in areas, but with spikes on, it was fairly solid. As always, fun to catch up with Val and a nice bright morning to be out in the woods! (6.0 miles)
Headed out on Saturday around 10:30. Nice morning, a bit breezy and warmer than I thought it would be. I was definitely overdressed! Found some witchhazel on the back dirt road that looks to be starting to bloom. Exciting! (9.0 miles)
Sunday dawned foggy and misty, so I took the lazy route and relaxed a bit on the couch, got some work done, did some chores around the house and finally headed out for a run around 1:00 pm. Yet another afternoon run 🤷♀️ Roads with some cart path and dirt roads mixed in to mix it up. Cart paths still not quite clear so there was some definite tiptoeing over icy patches. Still, fared better than Ryan who caught up with me for a stretch and pretty much slipped and fell right away after he found me out on the cart paths 😱😬 Oops! (11.0 miles)
