Pre-Christmas Run

Just a quick note. Very tired when I woke up today. Recovering from the massive swim yesterday.

Went for a run with the dogs and Napoleon. He's house sitting with one, he has two and Maggy was with as well. I wonder what the house owner's neighbours were thinking watch our group run through their neighbourhood!? Started to snow at the mid point of the run, which added to the Christmas feel of it all. Bloody cold though. With the wind chill, it was probably close to 0F for the temperature, but after the first mile or so you don't notice it.

One thing I love about running, is that you see things that other won't see just driving in their cars, whizzing by without time to take it all in. For example, today we saw a man who had groomed his own speed skating track, practicing on the lake we were running around. It was fantastic to watch and had you not been on the path we had chosen this day, you would have missed him.  It was great to watch. Apparently, the ice is just about thick enough!

I now need to hop in the shower before Marie and I head off for a Christmas skate of our own. However, not before 20 minutes of rolling the legs and back out!

Good luck to us all!
