Depending on where the texture of the snow sits on the melting spectrum, sometimes it’s like running on a sandy beach. Exhausting. Glad I got out this weekend though, despite the temperatures. November is the month to get acclimated to the cold air.
It was shorts and sweatshirt running weather this weekend. I even started out wearing gloves the first mile on Saturday. The trail was lit by such a beautifully soft sun. I only ran four miles but it was my best run of the year.

You should smile in your selfies. You are out in nature, running. I know you are having fun, you can oshow the rest of us that you are enjoying yourself. I am going to take the dogs for a walk on the Cherry Creek Trail later today, it is just over 1/4 mile from my front door to the green space short cut to the trail. We may go four miles, but we won’t be running! I don’t have streaming live tv anymore. I am going to walk the dogs instead of going to a bar to watch the pathetic Broncos as I can’t get the Fox NFL games at home any longer.

Ed, I agree with Jed: you’d be prettier if you smiled.

Also, are you still training on your elliptical? I do not enjoy running in snow. Or in mildly cold weather, for that matter. But a day with a run in a blizzard is a better day than a day with no run at all. Been running lately in the pre-dawn dark, with a really good little “old guy running in the dark” headlamp. It is a different experience; in some ways, better. I see the owls returning home. I can’t really see my feet or hear (because of my beanie) my footfalls and breathing, so in some strange way it feels more natural. But I’m outdoors and moving, and that is the essential. Keep it up, and please keep posting.

I’ve been on the elliptical already. Probably mostly going forward and I’ll run outdoors on the weekends.
