Winter running, frozen eyelashes, and other firsts.

Its been a while since I blogged and I still need to write up the race report for the Sanders saunter trail 10k I did the week after my half marathon. 

However, todays run needed a post. It was the coldest run I've done (21 degrees F) and it was beautiful.  For the record, I do not like the cold...at all...but I like running and love the trail.  My brf Kris and I ran hills last night so my legs were quite tired this morning, but I got up and met Kris at the river trail anyway.  It snowed & iced this week so we weren't sure of the trails condition. Thankfully it was still fully frozen...pretty sure that's first time I've ever been thankful for frozen ground.

It was more hiking than running this morning and I ended up with icicles on my eyelashes & a frozen hydration pack hose, but it was beautiful and I got to chat with my best friend for a couple of hours before spending the day cleaning the house for the impending holiday.  I might end up being okay with winter after this winter running in it. There is always a first for everything.
