Winter Miles Part 2



Ran 20 miles around this 1/2-mile city park path.
Those are all my footsteps, minus a few from a lady that walked by.
Not many others were out that morning when it was 5 F (-15 C).

Another view of the path. All the tracks in the snow
off the path are Sadie's after dozens of laps.
A squirrel taunted her for at least 15 laps.

These blue skies made the previous
day's blizzard easier to forget.

The beautiful side of a bitter cold.
 


Happy New Year!

Keep running!

  2. I'm a Texan, so I've never really gotten the chance to run through scenery such as this-looks inspiring and challenging, however! Keep Running Happy:)

  3. @Adrienne -- I grew up in The Woodlands/Oak Ridge area (ORHS) and have been up here since '04. Winter running has definitely taken some getting used to. :)
